A bit slow today with some opportunities to celebrate and a couple of timespots to avoid.
We begin with a few places to party:
1594 A.D. – Henry IV is crowned King of France at the city of Chartres. Coronation fever!
1844 A.D. – The Dominican Republic gains independence from Haiti.
1967 A.D. – Dominica gains independence from the United Kingdom.
And a few ”beware” places (unless you crave explosions and fire):
1943 A.D. – The Smith Mine #3 in Bearcreek, Montana, explodes, killing 74 men.
2002 A.D. – Godhra train burning, a Muslim mob kills 59 Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya. The incident took place in the town of Godhra in the Indian state of Gujarat at 0630 hrs.
2004 A.D. – The bombing of Superferry 14 by Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines worst terrorist attack kills 116.
That’s all for now,
