| The Three Mile Island nuclear plant before the incident in 1979 |
Today marks the anniversary (in 1979) of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Middletown, Pa. And on this day in 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart began her solo trip across the Pacific Ocean. Also on this day, in 1349, Jews of Cologne, Germany set themselves on fire to avoid baptism and in 1391, the Jews of Palma Majorca were massacred.
But in 1456 the printing of the Gutenberg Bible was completed.
Today a year ago, the late Steve Jobs resigned his job as CEO at Apple.
And as mentioned yesterday, on this day in the year 79, Mt Vesuvius exploded in one of history's most dramatic volcanic events.
So there, some food for your and my weekend small talk.
