On this day in 81 Domitian became Emperor of the Roman Empire upon the death of his brother Titus. In 1741 Handel completed his oratorio Messiah. In 1814 the poem Defense of Fort McHenry was written by Francis Scott Key to commemorate the Battle of Baltimore, and this was the poem that was used as the lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner. In 1958 the first two German post-war rockets, designed by the German engineer Ernst Mohr, reached the upper atmosphere. In 1959 the Soviet space probe Luna 2 became the first man-made object to reach the moon as it crashed onto the lunar surface. In 1984 Joe Kittinger became the first person to fly a gas balloon alone across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1985 Penang Bridge, the longest bridge in Malaysia, connecting the island of Penang to the mainland, opened to traffic.

Folks would open the door of the trash room, and just throw their bags in instead of walking two more steps, opening the chute door, and dropping it in?
