On May 31, 1889, more than 2,000 people perished when a dam break sent water rushing through Johnstown, Pa. In 1962, Adolf Eichmann was hanged in Israel for his role in the Holocaust, and in 1970, an earthquake killed tens of thousands of people in Peru. In 1994, the U.S. announced it was no longer aiming long-range nuclear missiles at targets in the former Soviet Union, and in 2000, Tito Puente died at age 77. Eric Rudolph was arrested outside a grocery store in Murphy, N.C. in 2003.
