This day in history March 24th

Well of course many things happened but what are some of the more well known things. I guess the one that I thing will resonate with most of my peers is that the Exxon Valdez in 1989(yes 1989) ran aground off of Alaska. Now I am sure Sarah Palin will tell us that it was no big deal and that seals and birds deserved to get killed by oil(cause that is the natural order of things) but for me I remember how this was one of my wake up calls to how fragile our environment is.
