*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 2002, Africa’s worst ever train disaster killed 281. The crash occurred near Msagali, Tanzania, when a passenger train with some 1200 passengers rolled back down Igandu hill after its brakes had failed.

* On this day in 1717, the world’s first Masonic Grand Lodge was established. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that has counted among its members a large number of known intellectuals. Due to its secretive nature, many myths about their underground activities have emerged through the ages.

We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too. – Helen Hayes
