In Buenos Aires in 1988, a dog fell from a 13th floor window, killing a woman below. A bus driver swerved to avoid her and ran over another woman.... then a man WATCHING it all, died of a heart attack! (Lucky white heather..... get your lucky white heather here!! )


In 1976, third place in the Japanese Grand Prix was enough for James Hunt, i his McLaren-Ford, to clinch his only world title from Niki Lauda... by ONE point!


The expression "Cold War" was first used by industrialist and statesman Bernard Baruch in a statement in 1948, to the U.S. Senate War Investigation Committee.


Pleas by Chancellor Lloyd George and other ministers could not stop suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst being jailed in 1908, for "inciting the public to rush the House of Commons"



Special today ~ History in the making! Today, in THIS year (2003) the last EVER flight of the British Airways/Air France 'Concorde', BA002 from New York, touched down at Heathrow Airport in London at 16:03 hours, British Summer Time. It will never fly commercial flights again.
