Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
On 23 February 1885 three attempts were made to carry out Lee's execution. All ended in failure as the trapdoor of the scaffold failed to open despite being carefully tested by executioner James Berry beforehand. As a result Home Secretary Sir William Harcourt commuted the sentence to life imprisonment.

With no lights, the aircraft took off, heading southwest over the Atlantic Ocean before disappearing. in Quatro de Fevereiro Airport, Luanda, Luanda, Angola. Neither the aircraft nor the two men have been seen since and no debris from the aircraft has been found. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Angola_Boeing_727_disappearance |
