2. Inever made the connection. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Major events like this happening on the same month and day date, I'm sure are rare.
But I'm sure someone will correct me and name numerous major events with the same month and day date.

For me, 2 major events....my dad and a favorite Aunt died on the same month and day as my birth date.

4. The start of the Dust Bowl as well

At least according to this song...

"And the great barge sank, and the Okies fled.
And the Great Emancipator took a bullet in the head.
It was not December and it was not May
Was the 14th of April, that was Ruination Day."
