Dog the bounty hunter
Jack the Ripper and Diana princess of
wales are all on this day
hey welcome back to on this day today's
august 31st 2020
it is the 244th day of the year there is
122 days
left can't wait it is the 35th monday
today
is overdose awareness day overdose
awareness day aims to reduce
the stigma associated with speaking
about drug addiction
this observance encourages addicts to
seek help and treatment according to the
national center for health statistics
over 770 000 americans have died from
drug overdoses since 1999.
in 2001 this observance was originated
by the salvation army's
sally j finn in melbourne australia on
this day
many share their stories about their
lost loved ones to overdose on social
media
yeah you know there was a time where
everyone just thought drug addicts were
nothing but inner city people rock stars
and celebrities
it's everywhere now i read this thing
like two years ago about a priest that
was addicted to vicodin that's
you know it hits everyone it's too bad
all right let's see what else
has happened on august 31st 1888 mary
ann nicholls is murdered she is the
first
of jack the ripper's confirmed victims
he is believed to have murdered and
mutilated
a minimum of five women in the white
chapel and spittlefields district of
london
over the course of four months in 1888
only four months
i heard so much about him growing up and
there's been so many movies and books
written about him
you think this would have gone on for
like years but no four months that's it
1907 russian in the united kingdom
signed the anglo-russian convention by
which
the uk recognizes russia's preeminence
in northern persia while russia
recognizes british preeminence in
southeastern persia
and afghanistan both powers pledge not
to interfere in tibet
that's godly good of them 1935 the
united states tries to remain
neutral in an attempt to stay out of the
growing tensions concerning germany and
japan the united states passes the first
of its neutrality acts
there were four neutrality acts which
ultimately failed i mean we ended up in
the war the first imposed a general
embargo on trading in
arms and war materials with all parties
in the war and also declared the
american citizens traveling on ships to
the area traveled at their own risk
the second said no more loans or credit
to any country or businesses involved in
the war
the third being the biggest passed a
joint resolution
outlawing the arms trade with spain the
fourth kind of went against all that but
it allowed
arms trade with great britain and france
on a cash and carry basis we're
given no credit on this one because we
probably didn't feel they would be
around long enough to pay us back
along with the american citizens and
ships were barred from entering the war
zone designated by the president
yeah that whole thing was a mess we
eventually got involved obviously and
you know
the rest is history as they say 1939
nazi germany mounts a fake attack on a
polish radio station creating an excuse
to attack poland the following day
thus starting world war ii in europe the
purpose of the attack was to place the
blame on another country to avoid being
at fault for the war 1940 pennsylvania
central airline trip
19 crashes near lovitzville virginia the
investigation of the accident is the
first investigation to be conducted
under the bureau of air commerce act of
1938. you know now
these days it's the faa that takes care
of all that
1943 the uss harmon the first u.s navy
ship to be named after a black person
is commissioned leonard roy harmon was
a sailor he was a mess mess meaning food
service basically for those of you that
don't know
he was what they call a mess attendant
first class on the uss san francisco
during the campaign of the solomon
islands on salvo island there was an
attack
and he pretty much disregarded
everything he was doing
that had to do with the kitchen and
started in carrying uh
wounded sailors to safety and being shot
at and eventually died
but he gave up everything that was going
on in the kitchen to help out and start
bringing people back wherever they get
their help i read the whole thing on his
actions
it was very interesting 1988 delta
airlines flight
1141 crashes during takeoff from dallas
dallas-fort worth international
airport killing 14. following the
clearing from ground control the
aircraft was instructed to line up on
the runway
and hold for one minute due to the
possibility of wake turbulence
nearly right after takeoff the plane
went down with the tail
and the right wing touching the ground
and the right wing basically caught fire
the entire flight
lasted a total of 22 seconds killed 14
people
1993 russia completely removes its
troops from lithuania
1994 russia completely removes its
troops from estonia
1997 diana princess of wales her
companion dodi fayed
and driver aniri paul i believe his name
is die in a car crash in paris
it is believed that the car crashed in a
tunnel after being followed by paparazzi
others have said that at high speeds and
the driver being on the influence of
prescription drugs could have caused the
accident now there's a million and one
conspiracies out there that apparently
she was killed by the royal family and
all that
uh it's you know the conspiracy theories
and how
weird they get are kind of more
interesting than the fact that she died
in a tunnel in paris it's weird
2006 edward monk's famous painting the
scream that was stolen on august
22nd 2004 is recovered in a raid by
norwegian police it was stolen during

1949 richard gere richard gere
is an amazing actor i remember you know
decades ago in the 80s he was in a movie
called american gigolo which
caught my attention because i always
kind of thought gigolo was a bad thing
like
almost a curse word at the time like you
know the american slut would sound you
know that's how i kind of felt it was
but anyway the movie came out great
movie and i remember one of the
critics saying you know this is a great
movie richard gere obviously was hired
for his pretty face
not his acting ability then they went on
to insinuate he'd be gone in a couple
years
here he is he's been in some amazing
movies including pretty woman
looking for mr goodbar yanks like i said
american gigolo an officer and a
gentleman
the cotton club power internal affairs
mr jones summersby which was great
primal fear first night the jackal and
red corner which were both really good
movies and then with
julia roberts again in runaway bride
he's been in so many things it's great
he's a great actor
i like him 1973 scott nedermeier
canadian ice hockey player and coach
this is he was one of the best defense
men that ever played the game honestly
he was that good he uh spent a majority
of his career with the new jersey devil
then at the end he went to the anaheim
ducks which i think the first year he
was with him they were called the mighty
ducks but yeah he was
definitely one of the best defensemen
i've ever seen play the game of hockey
died on august 31 1973 john
ford american film director he was
impressive i mean stagecoach and a whole
bunch of other
movies but what impresses me the most
about this man he actually
filmed the landing at normandy he was
also on midway island when the japanese
attacked it he filmed that
this guy was not afraid of anything 2013
