Today is 24 January and this happened on this date in the past:
1️⃣ On this day in the year 41, the Roman emperor Caligula was murdered at the Palatine Games by Cassius Chaerea (a tribune of the Praetorian Guard), Cornelius Sabinus and others. Maybe this news is nice for @diogenes_cask and maybe also @Sarahsalah27 because she also likes history!! 🙂
2️⃣ In 1556 the most deadly earthquake ever took place in Shaanxi (China). It killed 830,000 people!! 😢🥀
3️⃣ Carpenter James Wilson Marshall found nuggets of gold in California's American River near the site of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter, ushering in a gold rush. He found it first on 24 January 1848.
4️⃣ The Grapes of Wrath, the acclaimed adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel, had its world premiere on this day in 1940.
5️⃣ On this day in 1984, Steve Jobs introduced Apple's revolutionary computer Macintosh. Maybe this news is nice for @Etienne and anybody who likes super old computers!! 😊😊
6️⃣ American serial killer Ted Bundy - who confessed to murdering 30 women, though many believe the number to be much higher - was executed on 24 January 1989 at age 42. Maybe this news is nice for @Roseeeee and @Esma-Nur because they like true crime stories. And i saw that on Netflix there is a docu about Ted Bundy but i didnt watch it.
7️⃣ On this day in 1965, the old prime minister of United Kingdom Winston Churchill died. There was also a movie about Churchill on Netflix.
8️⃣ Launched in mid-2003, the six-wheeled robotic rover Opportunity landed on Mars this day in 2004 and - like its twin rover, Spirit, which had landed on January 3 - analyzed rocks and soils and relayed pictures back to Earth.
9️⃣ These people were born on this day: king of Prussia Frederick II (1712), American writer Edith Wharton (1862) and American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond (1941).
