Bummer May 24th
May 24, 1964: During a football (soccer) match between the Peruvian and Argentinian national teams in the Estadio Nacional in Lima, a Uruguayan referee makes a controversial call against Peru. Fans throw trash onto the field. One man who attempts to invade the pitch is brutally beaten by the Peruvian National Police. A riot and a crowd crush ensue, since the exit doors have been sealed with corrugated steel shutters. The 328 people who die mostly die of crush asphyxia or of internal injuries.
May 24, 1971: Duke Ellington dies of lung cancer.
