    17 December 1903 - WRIGHT BROTHERS FLY PLANE FOR FIRST TIME: After
    years of working in secrecy, Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully
    test a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft, which stays aloft
    for 12 seconds and covers 120 feet, near Kitty Hawk, NC. They'll send
    their father a telegram of their achievement, telling him to alert the
    press, but newspapers will pass and few people will learn of the feat
    until they invite reporters to later test flights.

    30 December 1903 - DEADLY FIRE KILLS 600 AT A CHICAGO THEATRE: The
    "most beautiful" stage in Chicago, the Iroquois Theatre, turns into a
    death trap for over 600 people when a fire erupts backstage. Most of
    the victims die on the balcony level, which lacks fire escapes or
    ladders to safety. The tragedy will lead to new safety standards for
    public buildings that will be adopted nationwide.
