1944 The worst tragedy in American circus history occurs when the big top tent at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus catches fire during a performance to a crowd of over 6,000. Many of the 168 deaths and over 700 injuries were caused by trampling as people stampeded out the exits. Arson was suspected as the cause, but the culprit has never been determined.
Music History:
1985 Phil Collins went to No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Sussudio’, his third US No.1. The track was taken from his third solo studio album, No Jacket Required. So, what does Sussudio mean? When asked what the meaning of the word “Sussudio” was and if it meant anything to him, Collins said it was a meaningless word. According to him, he just made it up during the writing process of the song. He said the word just popped out of his mouth while playing with his drum machine.
