I thought we had a thread for this but I can't find it... post any historical events or anything interesting/of note on this date as they come and go:

On this date in 1989 The San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics are moments away from the start of the first SF World Series home game in a couple decades for game three of the "Bay Area Series" when a 6.9 earthquake rocks the bay area.

I remember it well... very scary for a kid sitting at home getting ready for the World Series. One of those huge news moments in my life, Challenger, Katrina, 9/11, the First Gulf War, this Earthquake... those were the moments you felt the world slow down.
