20 SEPTEMBER IN HISTORY:
1893 Near Brighton, Tasmania – The evening express train from Launceston to Hobart was deliberately derailed on the tall Horseshoe Bridge, which stood between Brighton Junction and Bridgewater Junction.
1906 Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England – The Cunard Line’s RMS Mauretania was launched. She was the world’s largest ship until 1910, and for 20 years held the record for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. She was withdrawn from service in September 1034 and sent to shipbreakers in Rosyth, Scotland, in July 1935.
1955 Hobart, Tasmania – A Melbourne contracting company prepared for construction of the longest, pre-stressed concrete bridge in Australia at the time, which was intended to replace a timber bridge on the Sorell causeway. This bridge was replaced, in turn, in 2002 by the current McGee Bridge.
1963 Canberra, Australian Capital Territory – The Federal Minister for the Interior, Mr Freeth, closed the valves of a £1.4 million, 25 metre high dam to impound the waters of the Molonglo River, to create Lake Burley Griffin.

15 SEPTEMBER IN HISTORY:
1830 Lancashire, England – The Liverpool to Manchester railway opened. This was the world’s first inter-city passenger railway, in which all trains were timetabled and hauled for most of the distance by steam locomotives.
William Huskisson, English Member of Parliament and financier, became the first recorded railway passenger fatality when he was struck by the Stephenson locomotive Rocket, after he disobeyed instructions to remain aboard the train he was travelling in.
1907 Murwillumbah, New South Wales – A massive fire destroyed over 60 of the mainly-wooden buildings in the town, which housed most of the town’s businesses. The town had no water supply and no fire brigade.
1916 France – World War 1 – Tanks were used for the first time in combat, by the British Army, at the Battle of the Somme.
1957 Interlaken, Tasmania – Fifty people were stranded by heavy snow drifts, which trapped 14 vehicles for two days. A further 30 people were similarly stranded in the Arthurs Lake area.
1964 Melbourne, Victoria – 15,000 turned out in a demonstration to protest against Premier Bolte’s plan to introduce a State Income Tax.
From The Friends of 105.9 FM, Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia, Canada
In Loving Memory of Paul Meagher (alias ” Paul Marr”).
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Meagher, an integral part of our radio station family.
Paul was more than just a colleague — he was a friend, mentor, and a driving force behind our station’s success and history.
Paul brought passion, dedication, and a unique spirit that touched the lives of everyone he worked with and every listener who tuned in.
During this difficult time, our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Paul’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Paul was the producer of Music Unlimited, heard each Sunday at 6.00 a.m. on TYGA-FM 98.9.
With his passing, the future of Music Unlimited is very much in doubt; next Sunday’s edition will likely be the last.
Paul was a passionate, lifelong radio man, very well respected at Seaside FM, the station where he voluntarily served after a long career in commercial radio, and in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Although I never had the privilege of meeting him in person, his warmth of character was apparent, even from the opposite side of the world, here in New Norfolk.
Deepest condolences go to Paul’s relatives, colleagues, friends and listeners, from everyone in TYGA-FM.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
1915 Canberra, Australian Capital Territory – The Federal Government first imposed Income Tax – as a wartime measure.

1954 Scottsdale, Tasmania – Radio station 7DY, which was formerly based in Derby, commenced transmission from Scottsdale under the new callsign of 7SD.

6 SEPTEMBER IN HISTORY
1666 London, England – The Great Fire of London ended with over 13,000 buildings, including the original St Paul’s Cathedral, destroyed. The blaze had started four days previously in a bakery in Pudding Lane, and spread rapidly. It left 70,000 of the city’s 80,000 people homeless and although very few deaths were confirmed, many are likely to have been unrecorded as the intensity of the fire would have left little of it’s victims.
1933 Melbourne Victoria – The City Coroner, investigating the death of a young woman who had been struck by a car during a storm, declared that all cars should have windscreen wipers. A new regulation to this effect was drafted.
1949 Camden, New Jersey, U.S.A. – Howard Unruh, a former World War 2 sharpshooter, killed 13 neighbours, including three children, with a souvenir Luger pistol, and became the first single-episode mass murderer in the United States. He was found to be criminally insane and was gaoled until his death in 2009.
1963 Hobart, Tasmania – The new seven storey Scottish Union building in Macquarie Street was opened by the Premier (Eric Reece). At 120ft (36 m) in height, it was then claimed to be Hobart’s tallest building.
1972 Munich, Germany – Eleven Israeli athletes were murdered at the 1972 Olympics after 8 members of the Arab terrorist group Black September invaded the Olympic Village. Five of the terrorists and 1 policeman also died during a failed hostage rescue.
1983 The Soviet Union admitted to shooting down a Boeing 747 of Korean Airlines, stating that the pilots did not know it was a civilian aircraft when it violated Soviet airspace.
