Several tragedies in history happened on April 15th. In 1865, President Lincoln died of his wounds that he received the evening before…. In 1912, the Titanic sank, with the loss of life of over 1500 persons… In 1927, New Orleans experienced 15 inches of rain in 18 hours, damaging much property from the high water. Some of the worst damage, though, came later, to homes and property destroyed when city officials decided to dynamite a levee to ease the water level. The property owners were poorly reimbursed, if at all…. During that same time, extensive flooding was happening along the Mississippi River because of other rains…. In 1989, 94 people died and 766 were injured in a fatal human crush at a football match at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England. Three more persons died later from their injuries…. In 2013, 3 people were killed and hundreds injured from the detonation of homemade bombs at the Boston Marathon…. In 2019, a fire broke out at Notre-Dame de Paris, destroying much of the roof and damaging upper walls. Restoration work is anticipated to be finished in 2024.
