For me it is the "fall of the Berlin wall" and the celebrations after the border openings.

If I can experience it without dying, I’d say the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs.

I also vote for the asteroid but with zero caveats.

Lol. You at least want to survive long enough to see the explosion.

Would you rather be on the astroid as it comes to Earth or would you rather hang around the impact zone and wait for it to hit?
