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 3385 births, 3950 deaths, 1122 murders, 498 disasters and 2085 other events about 5737 people in 6452 places until today.
