~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Jul 4 1054

A supernova suddenly appears in the constellation Taurus. It is so bright that for the first 23 days it is visible during the day. Then it gradually fades away, finally disappearing after a year or so. Today the remnants of this star are the Crab Nebula.

Jul 4 1826
A comatose Thomas Jefferson dies on the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, only a few hours before John Adams also expires.

Jul 4 1961
In the North Atlantic, a leaky pipe drains all of the coolant from the starboard reactor aboard the Soviet submarine K-19. 22 sailors are killed in the resulting nuclear accident.

NOTE: If you want to learn a little more about the above. Find a movie called K-19: The Widowmaker. A movie based on the real life accounts of this story. It stars Liam Neeson and Harrison Ford.


Jul 4 1976
After receiving an especially bloody beating at the hands of her husband Ike, Tina Turner sneaks out of the Dallas hotel they're staying at while he is asleep. She walks away from their 16-year relationship with only 36 cents in her pocket.

Don't you just hate it when people take their eye off the star. You say today but is it today or was it years and years and years ago????

What's even more remarkable is that Adams' last words were apparently "Thomas Jefferson survives." There is some dispute that the last word was "survives", because the final word was barely coherent, but it's generally accepted that this was, in fact, what he said.

Status: offline 		I think he actually said "eats pies" but since nobody understood what he meant, they changed it to "survives."
