EVENTS

1958 Dearborn, Michigan, U.S.A. – The Ford Motor Company produced its 50 millionth car, a Thunderbird
1961 Bell Bay, Tasmania – The original jetty quietly gave way and collapsed into the Tamar River without warning, barely a week before it was scheduled to have been demolished.
1978 Brittany, France – The supertanker Amoco Cadiz split into three sections after running aground on the Portsall Rocks, two kilometres from the coast.
