Fast forward to 1949, Alger Hiss, a former State Department official accused of espionage, faced trial in New York on perjury charges, marking a pivotal moment in Cold War history.

1970 witnessed a powerful magnitude 7.9 earthquake hitting the Ancash region of Peru, leading to a tragic loss of approximately 67,000 lives due to the ensuing landslide.

In 1977, the completion of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline marked a major milestone in the energy industry after three years of construction.

Jumping to 2005, the identity of “Deep Throat,” the Watergate scandal informant, was revealed as former FBI official W. Mark Felt by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

In 2009, Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the RMS Titanic sinking in 1912, passed away in Hampshire, England at the age of 97.

Fast forward to 2014, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only American soldier held captive in Afghanistan, was released by the Taliban in exchange for five Afghan detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
