FEBRUARY 26, 1993 - A bomb was detonated in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center in New York, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000. The attack was carried out by a group of Muslim extremists with close connections to al-Qaeda. Investigators were able to track down the terrorists after tracing the vehicle identification number for the van containing the bomb to a Ryder truck rental outlet in Jersey City. The first terrorist captured was arrested when he attempted to get his deposit back for the van, which he had reported as stolen. Five of the six terrorists are currently serving 240-year sentences at the supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The sixth remains at large in the Middle East.

FEBRUARY 28, 1983 - The final episode of M*A*S*H aired. Titled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," the episode was over two-hours long and was viewed by more than106-million Americans, making it the most watched television program in history. The television series told the story of the fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War and ran from 1972 to 1983, almost three times as long as the war itself. Urban legends persist that the final episode was seen by so many people that the plumbing systems broke down in parts of New York City during the commercial breaks due to so many New Yorkers waiting to go to the toilet.

MARCH 2, 1962 - Philadelphia Warriors center Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points against the New York Knicks. The game was played in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and was an otherwise meaningless late-season match. In fact, only 4,124 spectators paid to watch the game. Even at halftime no one thought anything of Chamberlain's 41 points since it was not uncommon for him to have 30 or 35 points going into the locker room. But during the second half his teammates continued to feed him the ball and with 7:51 minutes left in the game Chamberlain scored his 79th point, breaking his previous record and sending the crowd into a frenzy. The spectators began to scream "Give it to Wilt! Give it to Wilt!" Fearing ultimate humiliation if Chamberlain scored 100 points on them, the Knicks began to foul any Warrior except Chamberlain, to force them to shoot free throws and keep the ball out of the center's hands. But it was to no avail. With less than a minute remaining, Chamberlain received an alley-oop pass and slam dunked his final basket to reach 100 points. Unfortunately no film footage exists of the game, although there is an audio broadcast.
