Nothing on the day I was born, but on my 2nd birthday (18th May 1980) the volcano Mount St Helen's in Washington state erupted; Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division (one of my favourite bands) hanged himself.

Sweet feck all. But if I was born the following day, I'd have the same birth date as Rosie from Coronation Street!

My Dad was born on the day that James Dean died and my brother-in-laws father was born on the day that Peral Harbour was bombed.

beautiation

I have a cool one, I was born an hour after the Berlin Wall fell. Of course, the papers that day would have been about something else, and it doesn't seem anything interesting happened the day before.
