Bummer January 18th
January 18, 2019: A gasoline pipeline explosion in Tlahuelilpan, Hidalgo, Mexico, kills 137 people and injures an unknown number of people. The Mexican government compensates the families of the victims approximately $800 each.
January 18, 2024: Sanjay Shah, the 55-year-old CEO of Chicago-based software company Vistex, attends an event in honor of the company’s 25th anniversary in Hyderabad, India. As part of a presentation on a film set, Shah and company president Raju Datla are lowered onto the stage in an apparatus made to look like a hot air balloon. A cable supporting the apparatus snaps, sending Shah and Datla plummeting onto the stage below. Shah dies shortly afterward. Datla dies at a Chicago hospital on July 19, 2024.
