Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
At the end of the show an announcement was made that children with certain numbered tickets would be presented with a prize upon exit. At the same time entertainers began distributing gifts from the stage to the children in the stalls. Worried about missing out on the treats, many of the estimated 1.100 children in the gallery stampeded toward the staircase leading downstairs. With the compressive asphyxia of 183 children between 3 and 14 years old the disaster is the worst of its kind in British history.
(16 June 1883)
There are 3366 births, 3930 deaths, 1121 murders, 498 disasters and 2076 other events about 5724 people in 6431 places until today.

The body of 21-year-old human sacrifice Mark Kilroy and 14 others are discovered in Santa Elena Ranch, Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Kilroy was abducted on 14 March, tortured and sodomized. He was then killed by chopping the back of his neck and head with a machete. His brain was boiled in a nganga. Kilroy's legs were chopped off above his knees to facilitate his burial. A wire was inserted in his spinal cord to pull the bones out once the body decomposed. |
