EVENTS
1917 Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.A. – A bomb, which had been discovered next to a church and taken to the central police station by a social worker and a church janitor, exploded whilst being examined. Nine police officers and a female civilian lost their lives.
1963 Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. – The alleged assassin of President John Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, was murdered by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in the basement of the police headquarters.

1971 Between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. – An unidentified man who called himself Dan Cooper parachuted from a plane he had hijacked, after collecting US$200,000 in ransom money. He was never seen again and most of the money was never recovered.
Whilst it is thought that he didn’t survive the parachute jump, the case remains the only unsolved skyjacking in U.S. history.
