Important things that have happened since 1997?

Okay, so, I need to know what all has happened in the world from then to now? I don't want links or anything to wikipedia, because, alot of that stuff is not what I am looking for. I am talking the death of Osama Bin Laden, Obama, Hurricane Katrina, all of that type of stuff. I really appreciate your help... :) You're awesome. :D
