Good morning People of Phoenix! It’s time for another TBT!
On this day in:
• 1941: The Japanese consul in Hawaii is instructed to
divide Pearl Harbor into five zones and calculate the number of battleships in
each zone and report findings back to Japan which was then used in the planning
of the Pearl Harbor attacks.
• 1960: The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) becomes the world’s
first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
• 1961: The last episode of I Love Lucy is aired.
• 1964: Warren Commission report on the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November 22nd, 1963, in
Dallas, Texas is given to President Lyndon B. Johnson. Its conclusion was that
Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone and that the Secret Service had made poor
preparations for JFK’s visit to Dallas and had failed to sufficiently protect
him.
• 1968: The investigative television newsmagazine program
"60 Minutes" is shown for the first time on CBS.
• 2000: Formula One returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway,
in Indianapolis, Indiana. The race attracted the largest Formula One crowd ever
with 250,000+ watching the race live and ending with a win by Michael
Schumacher (Ferrari).
• 2005: Hurricane Rita Category 3 with winds in excess of
115 MPH makes landfall between Sabine Pass, Texas, and Johnson Bayou,
Louisiana. New Orleans was still cleaning up after hurricane Katrina just a
month earlier and because a number of the levees were not rebuilt the city was
evacuated. Hurricane Rita did not strike the city directly but the storm surges
did still overwhelm some of the levees which were still under repair. The storm
surge caused extensive damage along other parts of the Louisiana coast and
extreme southeastern Texas completely destroying a few small coastal
communities.
Have a fangtastic Thursday my friends!
