Throughout the early decades of the 20th century, a young woman by the name of Amelia Earhart set out to do the impossible. The Wright Brothers had opened up the world to aviation, and Amelia was the one to push herself to the limits, breaking records to establish what we know as air travel today. Amelia spent the better part of her adult life traveling around the globe, documenting the effects of air travel on the human body, plus chartering the capabilities of early aircrafts by cataloging record-breaking altitudes and distances around the globe.On On 2 July 1937, Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, finalized their flight path for the journey of a lifetime. Amelia knew this would be her last trip around the world before decidedly planning to hang her aviator jacket up for good when she was done. But fate had other plans. On 3 July 1937, at 08:43 AM, Amelia made her last radio transmission on her flight progress, and was never heard from again. To this day, scientists do not have a clear understanding of what went wrong or what happened to Amelia and her navigator. Some mysteries are never meant to be solved, But in this case, we have Amelia to thank for traveling the distance in air travel.

During the early morning hours of April 16, 2007, shots rang out on the Virginia Tech campus located in Blacksburg, Virginia. All went quiet for around two hours, until something just as sinister occurred across campus. Seung-Hui Cho, an underclassman who suffered from mental health issues, had just committed a series of murders at West Ambler Johnston Hal Dormitory before making his way to Norris Hall, where class was currently in session. Cho killed 32 students and faculty members that day after planning out in intricate detail what he wished to accomplish. He barricaded all exit doors at Norris Hall by placing chains and locks on them before making his way to the second and third floors.
