this is with the exception of 9-11. I need to know 10 MAJOR historical events. For example: Hurricane Katrina and Space Shuttle Columbia. Please give me the event, date of the event, and the source you got it from. When you list the source please give me a full recording so I can go back and look at where you got it from.
