On Friday the 13th in...


Since today is Friday the 13th I thought I would do something a little different today. I figured we would run down the famous events/births on Friday the 13th as opposed to November 13th. Why not eh?

- On Friday July 13th, 1733 22 Ships depart Havana Cuba destined for Spain. Encountering a Hurricane shortly after departure the ships return to Havana, only 4 make it back. 12 of the wrecks make of the 1733 Spanish Galleon Trail off the coast of the Florida Keys.

- Black Sabbath's eponymous debut album was released in the UK on Friday, February 13, 1970.

- Andes Plane Crash of 1972

- Hurricane Charley made landfall in south Florida on Friday, August 13, 2004.

- The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games took place on Friday, August 13th, 2004.

- The "Friday the 13th Storm" struck Buffalo, New York on Friday, October 13, 2006.

Couldn't find a list of Birthdays for Friday the 13th so I guess we're stuck with a craptastic list of historical events. In retrospect this was a pretty terrible idea but oh well.
