SKATER ATTACKED ON THIS DAY IN 1994

Figure Skating Scandal! Man clubs Nancy Kerrigan: Olympic favorite's knee  is injured in maniac's attack – New York Daily News


Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan was attacked at a Detroit
ice rink following a practice session two days before the
Olympic trials. A man hit Kerrigan with a club on the back
of her knee, causing the figure skater to cry out in pain and bewilderment. When the full story emerged a week later,
the nation became caught up in a real-life soap opera.

One of Kerrigan’s chief rivals for a place on the U.S. Figure
Skating Team was
Tonya Harding. In mid-December 1993,
Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, approached Shawn
Eckardt about somehow eliminating Kerrigan from the
competition. Eckardt set up a meeting with Derrick Smith
and Shane Stant, who agreed to injure Kerrigan for a fee.

WHEN THE WHITE HOUSE WAS SET ABLAZE

JOHN DeMONT: The Nova Scotia connection to the flames over Washington | SaltWire

On August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812 between the United
States and England, British troops entered
Washington, D.C.
and
burned the White House in retaliation for the American
attack on the city of York in Ontario, Canada, in June 1813.

When the British arrived at the White House, they found that
President
James Madison and his first lady Dolley (below) 
had already fled to safety in
Maryland
.

Soldiers reportedly sat down to eat a meal made of leftover
food from the White House scullery using White House
dishes and silver before ransacking the presidential 
mansion and setting it ablaze.
