An Air France Concorde jet crashed upon takeoff in Paris on
July 25, 2000, killing 109 passengers and crew onboard as
well as four people on the ground.

The Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial jet, had enjoyed
an exemplary safety record up to that point, with no crashes
in the plane’s 31-year history.

Air France Flight 4590 left DeGaulle Airport for New York with
nine crew members and 96 German tourists who were planning
to take a cruise to Ecuador.

Concorde jets went back into service in November 2001, but a
series of minor problems prompted both Air France and British
Airways to end Concorde service permanently in October 2003.

On July 23, 1885, just after completing his memoirs, Civil War
hero and former president Ulysses S. Grant died of throat
cancer.

The successes of Grant’s tenure while in office (March 4, 1869 
– March 4, 1877) included passage of the Enforcement Act in
1870, which temporarily curtailed the political influence of the
Ku Klux Klan in the post-Civil War South, and the 1875 Civil
Rights Act, which attempted to desegregate public places
such as restrooms, “inns, public conveyances on land or
water, theaters, and other places of public amusement.”
