1. April 14 - Abraham Lincoln is assassinated.
2. April 15, 1912 - The Titanic sinks.
3. April 16, 2006 - Virginia Tech Massacre, bloodiest yet of any school massacre in America.
4. April 19, 177something - The Revolutionary War begins in Lexington and Concord, with bloodshed.
5. April 19, 186something - In Baltimore during the Civil War, Union Troops are attacked by Confederate citizens.
6. April 19, 1995 - A man in Oklahoma City bombs Alfred P. Murrah Building and 168 die as a result.
7. April 20, 1999 - The Columbine Massacre, originally meant for the 19th (when the majority of April misfortunes seem to happen), startles America, and is remembered as the bloodiest high school massacre.
And, (as Shannon adds in at the bottom of the sheet during science class when I wrote this) "it rains all month, and prevents interaction with Asians" (who are her neighbors, one of whom she wants to ask out). So, as you can see, April is not a happy month. Look out for yourself on the 19th.
(as far as I know, all of these dates are correct, but if you see anything wrong, post a comment and I will fix it).
