Noteworthy Events on this Day:
Mario Aburto MartÃnez, a 23-year-old pathologist's assistant, shook the foundations of Mexican politics when he fatally shot presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio at an election rally in Tijuana. The charismatic candidate, who was favored to win the presidency, was greeting supporters when MartÃnez pushed through the crowd and fired three shots at close range. Colosio, 44, died shortly after arrival at the hospital, plunging the nation into shock and unrest. The motive behind the assassination remains unclear, sparking widespread speculation and outrage.
In the blink of an eye, tragedy struck Pope Air Force Base as an F-16 fighter jet, on a routine training exercise, slammed into a C-130 transport plane on the runway. The resulting catastrophe would become infamously known as the Green Ramp disaster, claiming the lives of 24 U.S. Army soldiers on the ground. The devastating collision occurred during a training exercise, as the F-16, out of control, careened into the C-130, sending both aircraft up in flames. The incident would forever be etched in the memories of those affected, serving as a poignant reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform.
Aeroflot Flight 593, a routine Moscow-bound Airbus A310, was in the hands of experienced captain Yaroslav Kudrinsky, but his 15-year-old son, Eldar, was in the cockpit, secretly manipulating the autopilot system, unbeknownst to the crew. As the plane soared over the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain, Eldar's experimentation sent the aircraft into a steep descent, and despite frantic efforts to regain control, the plane slammed into the mountain, killing 75 people on board.
