Aerolinee Itavia Flight 870 Aerolinee Itavia Flight 870 (IH 870, AJ 421) Date 27 June 1980
Summary: Main theories: shot down - proposed by the Italian Government; terrorist bomb - proposed by British AAIB) was an Italian commercial flight operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15 which crashed into the Tyrrhenian Sea between Ponza and Ustica, killing all on board, while en route from Bologna, Italy, to Palermo, Italy, in 1980. Known in the Italian media as the Ustica Massacre ("Strage di Ustica") – Ustica being a small island near the crash-site – the disaster led to numerous investigations, legal actions, and accusations, and continues to be a source of speculation, including claims of conspiracy by the Italian government and others. Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga attributed the cause of the crash to a missile fired from a French Navy aircraft, despite contrary evidence presented in the Tribunale di Roma's 1994 report. On 23 January 2013 Italy's top criminal court ruled that there was "abundantly" clear evidence that the flight was brought down by a missile.[1] Mysterious Universe Although no official cause has been given for what became known as the Ustica Massacre, the widely held belief that a missile brought down the plane that night has led to speculation about a terrorist act, or even an undeclared act of war. In 2006, the Guardian reported that, “Radar evidence showed that there had been intense military activity in the area on the night Flight 870 was heading innocently towards Palermo.. Muammar Gaddafi had purportedly been aboard a transport plane on the evening in question, and one theory holds that he had been the target of an international assassination plot at the time the Ustica incident took place.In a statement by Judge Rosario Priore, an Italian expert on terrorism cases, “the passenger jet had either been brought down by a missile or had plunged into the sea after swerving to avoid a mid-air collision with one of the jetfighters Aviation Week and Space Technology, who both reported on the unfolding investigations ,damage to the airliner’s fuselage “was consistent with… a continuous-rod missile warhead as employed in air-to-air missiles.”

Titan II Damascus Arkansas  Missile Accident - The Military Standard  Titan II Silo Accident in Damascus Arkansas. On September 19, 1980 during routine maintenance in a Titan II silo, an Air Force repairman dropped a heavy wrench socket wrench which punched a hole  causing a leak from a pressurized fuel tank. The missile complex and the surrounding area were evacuated and a team of specialists was called in from Little Rock Air Force Base, the missile's main support base. About 8 1/2 hours after initial puncture, fuel vapors within the silo ignited and exploded. The explosion fatally injured one member of the team. Twenty-one other USAF personnel were injured. The missile's reentry vehicle, which contained a nuclear warhead, was recovered intact. There was no radioactive contamination. According to the Center for Defense Information(CDI): The explosion of volatile fuel blew off the 740 ton silo door of reinforced concrete and steel and catapulted the warhead 600 feet. It is estimated that Titan II ICBMs carry a 9 megaton warhead. Although it was stated that there has never been an accidental nuclear explosion, many believe that there might have been a small and real probability the 9 megaton warhead could have caused substantial and lasting damage to  the region had it somehow detonated. Man who survived Titan missile explosion in 1980Florida Today Jeff Devlin is one of several Brevard men who survived a Titan II missile explosion in Arkansas that is the subject of a book and documentary.

They were reportedly mailed from U.S. locations, including Prince George's County and northern Virginia, and threatened violence to athletes.

October[edit]

October 19, 1984 1 priest killed by communist agents When Communists Murdered a Priest October 21, 2014, Paul Kengor The original piece was published at The American Spectator. It was October 19, 1984—30 years ago this week. A gentle, courageous, and genuinely holy priest, Jerzy Popieluszko, age 37, found himself in a ghastly spot that, though it must have horrified him, surely did not surprise him. An unholy trinity of thugs from communist Poland’s secret police had seized and pummeled him. He was bound and gagged and stuffed into the trunk of their cream-colored Fiat 125 automobile as they roamed the countryside trying to decide where to dispatch him. This kindly priest was no less than the chaplain to the Solidarity movement, the freedom fighters who would ultimately prove fatal to Soviet communism—and not without Popieluszko’s stoic inspiration.
