Slow Day-History notes -- 9:12 pm CST, Update by The Master

Since it's been a slow day, a couple of interesting historical events that happened on this date:

• 1912: The RMS Titanic sets sail on her fateful maiden voyage. I will be reposting this one in 5 days.
• 1963: The US Navy submarine USS Thresher had some unknown difficulty that prevented her surfacing off Cape Cod. All hands (129 souls) were lost when Thresher sank past crush depth. The cause of the Thresher disaster is still unknown.

One of these days I'm going to build a database with this kind of stuff.

A.T. Hun comments: Gee, that sounds like a fun database, TM!

The Master comments: Hey-remember I almost went for a double-major in history A.T. That kind of stuff would be INTERESTING to me. Especially the pessimistic stuff :-)
