On July 21, 1919, the Wingfoot Air Express—a 160-foot Goodyear dirigible—passed over Comiskey Park during a White Sox-Yankees game before suddenly bursting into flames. In full view of 14,000 horrified fans, the airship plunged 1,200 feet into a downtown Chicago bank. The disaster stopped the game and killed 13 people (three on board, 10 on the ground) while injuring 27 others.
On July 20, 1954, 19-year-old tennis sensation Maureen Connolly’s career tragically ended when a cement truck spooked and then struck her horse in her hometown of San Diego. The accident left Connolly with a broken leg and severed calf muscles. Before the injury, she had already captured nine Grand Slam singles titles—beginning at age 16 at the U.S. Nationals (now the U.S. Open)—and swept all four major tournaments in 1953 while dropping just a single set. She passed away from cancer in 1969 at just 34 years old.
