This month in history
On the 8th American daredevil Evel Knievel made a failed attempt to jump over the Snake River Canyon in Idaho aboard the Skycycle X-2, a steam-powered rocket. Although Knievel cleared the canyon, a premature parachute deployment caused the rocket to drift back to the launch side, landing at the bottom of the canyon near the river. Cue: Sadie wanting to watch lots of videos of this strange man jump over things.
Then on the 15th Christchurch-born bassist Gary Thain of the legendary band Uriah Heep was seriously injured during a concert at the Moody Coliseum in Dallas on September 15. While performing, Thain suffered a near-fatal electric shock from his equipment, collapsing on stage in front of thousands of fans
Also that month the NBC drama “Little House on the Prairie”, based on the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder, began the first of 204 episodes over nine seasons, following a successful pilot that had been broadcast on March 30. It would continue until March 21, 1983.
What’d Sadie think?
