Utah authorities were trying to figure out what had happened to several young women who disappeared earlier. Seattle area officials were looking for a young man named Ted who was the suspected culprit in many murder cases. On August 16, 1975, an officer noticed a suspicious Volkswagen driving around his patrol area. After pulling the vehicle over, he found handcuffs in the back of the automobile and arrested the driver--Ted Bundy. In March 1976, he was convicted of aggravated kidnapping, which put him behind bars while investigators tried to connect him to the many unsolved murders in Washington, Colorado, and Utah but December 30, 1977, Bundy managed to escape from jail. A few months later, he was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List, and on February 15, 1978, he was finally captured. He eventually confessed to the murders of 28 women, and was executed in Florida on January 24, 1989.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Enniskillen Bombing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;8th November  ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1987.html"  &gt;1987&lt;/a&gt;  )&lt;/span&gt; :   A terrorist bomb has exploded during Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland injuring 63 and killing 11 .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;John F.

Bush. The election unlike normal presidential elections ended with controversy over who had won Florida's 25 electoral votes. Some television news networks had called the winner earlier in the evening with Al Gore declared the winner but retracted as the results came in. Then at 2:30 AM the networks declared that George W. Bush had won Florida and therefore the presidency. But once again by 4:30 AM the pendulum swung again as only 2,000 votes separated the two and the networks retracted their predictions. After a number of court cases involving the United States Supreme Court George Bush was declared the winner but because of the very small majority ( depending on who provides figures ranging from 500 to 2000 ) and also questions over the 58,000 names who had been taken off the registered voters list by governor Jeb Bush ( with allegations that most were thought to be democratic voters ), the 2000 presidential election will always be considered one of the most controversial ever. The election was also considered to be unusual because Al Gore gained more popular votes than George Bush but lost the election.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Narrows suspension Bridge &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7th November  ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1940.html"  &gt;1940&lt;/a&gt;  )&lt;/span&gt; :   Strong winds gusting to 35 MPH break the the Narrows suspension Bridge to pieces in Tacoma, Washington  causing the bridge to fall to the bottom of Puget Sound .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Museum Of Modern Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7th November  ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1929.html"  &gt;1929&lt;/a&gt;  )&lt;/span&gt; :  The Museum Of Modern Art is opened in New York City devoted exclusively to modern art and the largest and most comprehensive of it's kind in the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Featured Video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbsDQL5Ym6Y"&gt;Museum Of Modern Art&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="170" height="153"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GbsDQL5Ym6Y&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GbsDQL5Ym6Y&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="170" height="153"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7673542321822490378-1146238020469959925?l=thepeoplehistorytoday.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thepeoplehistory/kfnR/~4/rwA9PIo1Rfc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thepeoplehistory/kfnR/~3/rwA9PIo1Rfc/veterans-day-1954-armistice-day-is.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (thepowerguides)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://thepeoplehistorytoday.blogspot.com/2009/11/veterans-day-1954-armistice-day-is.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673542321822490378.post-3806152726987645934</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-06T01:03:00.226-08:00</atom:updated><title /><description>&lt;IMG SRC="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/bornthisday/queenelizabeth.gif" WIDTH="79" HEIGHT="108" align="left" BORDER="0" ALT=""&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt; Australia  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1999.html"  &gt;1999&lt;/a&gt;  ) &lt;/span&gt; : Australian voters decided to keep the queen and not become a republic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Evansville Tornado  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;6th November ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/2005.html"  &gt;2005&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/span&gt; :  A powerful F3 tornado strikes Evansville, Indiana  taking the lives of 25 people making it one of the deadliest single tornadoes on record.

The machine can take from 8 minutes to several hours to provide the answer which man alone can not solve today. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Hussein Pleads Not Guilty &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;20th October ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/2005.html"  &gt;2005&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/span&gt; : Saddam Hussein pleads "not guilty" at the opening of the al-Dujail trial.

Bush. The election unlike normal presidential elections ended with controversy over who had won Florida's 25 electoral votes. Some television news networks had called the winner earlier in the evening with Al Gore declared the winner but retracted as the results came in. Then at 2:30 AM the networks declared that George W. Bush had won Florida and therefore the presidency. But once again by 4:30 AM the pendulum swung again as only 2,000 votes separated the two and the networks retracted their predictions. After a number of court cases involving the United States Supreme Court George Bush was declared the winner but because of the very small majority ( depending on who provides figures ranging from 500 to 2000 ) and also questions over the 58,000 names who had been taken off the registered voters list by governor Jeb Bush ( with allegations that most were thought to be democratic voters ), the 2000 presidential election will always be considered one of the most controversial ever. The election was also considered to be unusual because Al Gore gained more popular votes than George Bush but lost the election.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Narrows suspension Bridge &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7th November  ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1940.html"  &gt;1940&lt;/a&gt;  )&lt;/span&gt; :   Strong winds gusting to 35 MPH break the the Narrows suspension Bridge to pieces in Tacoma, Washington  causing the bridge to fall to the bottom of Puget Sound .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Museum Of Modern Art&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;7th November  ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1929.html"  &gt;1929&lt;/a&gt;  )&lt;/span&gt; :  The Museum Of Modern Art is opened in New York City devoted exclusively to modern art and the largest and most comprehensive of it's kind in the United States. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Featured Video&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;small&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbsDQL5Ym6Y"&gt;Museum Of Modern Art&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="170" height="153"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GbsDQL5Ym6Y&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GbsDQL5Ym6Y&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="170" height="153"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7673542321822490378-5620610935900476810?l=thepeoplehistorytoday.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/thepeoplehistory/kfnR/~4/K5kkcMNv6_g" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thepeoplehistory/kfnR/~3/K5kkcMNv6_g/veterans-day-1954-armistice-day-is.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (thepowerguides)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://thepeoplehistorytoday.blogspot.com/2009/01/veterans-day-1954-armistice-day-is.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673542321822490378.post-8907377473054675222</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-27T10:02:32.031-07:00</atom:updated><title /><description>&lt;IMG SRC="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/bornthisday/saddamhussein.gif" WIDTH="71" HEIGHT="102" align="left" BORDER="0" ALT=""&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt; Saddam Hussein &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/2006.html"  &gt;2006&lt;/a&gt;  ) &lt;/span&gt; : Saddam Hussein is sentenced to death in the al-Dujail trial for his role in the massacre of the 148 Shi'as in 1982 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Ancient port of Alexandria  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;5th November ( &lt;a href="http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1996.html"  &gt;1996&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;/span&gt; :  Divers have discovered the ancient port of Alexandria from 2000 years ago which was swallowed by the sea and contains the ruins of Cleopatras Palace and Mark Anthony's home and temple when the Roman warrior was in Egypt.
