Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

As a prototype of the missile was being prepared for a test flight, an explosion occurred when second stage engines ignited accidentally while it was still on the launchpad. Despite the magnitude of the disaster, news of it was suppressed for many years and the Soviet government did not acknowledge the event until 1989.
(24 October 1960)



There are 3364 births, 3919 deaths, 1121 murders, 495 disasters and 2076 other events about 5719 people in 6424 places until today.
