Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1896, an F4 tornado struck St. Louis, Missouri, and East St. Louis, Illinois, killing more than 250 people, destroying more than 300 buildings and damaging 8,500 more.
•	In 1930, the Chrysler Building in New York was completed and opened, briefly becoming the world’s tallest building and tallest structure. The 1,046-foot height surpassed 40 Wall Street (also in New York) and the Eiffel Tower, but the following year the Empire State Building topped them all.
•	In 1939, most of the 937 Jewish refugees aboard the St. Louis, a German ship, were turned away by Cuba, which had changed its immigration policy just weeks earlier. The ship then carried the refugees to the United States, where they were again turned away before returning to Europe in search of safe harbor.
•	In 1962, a fire was started to clear out room at the landfill used by Centralia, Pennsylvania. The fire is considered by many to be the event that sparked the vast underground fires in the coal mines under the area that have caused health issues, forced evacuations and are still burning.
•	In 2006, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake in Indonesia killed an estimated 6,234 people and destroyed more than 60,000 homes.
•	In 2016, President Barack Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in Japan, touting peace, the use of science for the improvement of life instead of ending it, and “the future we can choose – a future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare, but as the start of our own moral awakening.”
