CalRis 13:34, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC): I removed the following entry: 1911 - Major Jimmie Erickson takes the first aerial photograph (over San Diego, California). The reason: aerial photographs have been taken well before 1911 (see this page for more information). It is not even true for aerial photography in the USA.

Toby Douglass 08:28, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC): I'd like to remove the Lorena Bobbitt entry. I feel this list should be composed of events of lasting historical interest. If there are no objections in a few days, I'll proceed.
