In 1946 the United Nations Security Council held its first meeting but
the Gulf War started today in 1991

On Jan 17th in 1995 ther San Fransico earthquake caused 20 billion
dollars of damage and exactly a year later more than 6000 people were
killed because of an earth quake in Kobe, Japan.

In 1997 a court in Ireland granted the first divorce in the Roman
Catholic country's history. 
 

Not that I have any special interest in today. Sure are a lot of earth
quakes though.
