Bummer June 6th

June 6, 1867: Archduchess Mathilde Marie Adelgunde Alexandra of Austria, who is smoking a cigarette, attempts to hide the cigarette from her father, Archduke Albert, Duke of Teschen, by concealing it behind her back. She accidentally sets her delicate gauze dress on fire and very shortly afterward dies of her second- and third-degree burn injuries.

June 6, 1892: Yale University student Wilkins Rustin dies of peritonitis. He’d participated in a Delta Kappa Epsilon hazing in which he’d been led through the street toward Moriarty’s Café while blindfolded. Rustin walks directly into a carriage pole, rupturing his intestine.

June 6, 1968: U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy (Sr.) is assassinated by gunshot in Los Angeles.

June 6, 1971: A mid-air collision between a U.S. military plane that had deviated from its flight plan and commercial Hughes Airwest flight 706 kills 50 people. Only 1st Lt. Christopher E. Schiess, the radar intercept officer aboard the F-4B fighter jet, survives the collision that occurs over Duarte, California. Schiess, 24 years old at the time, is able to eject himself from the jet and parachute to safety.

June 6, 2006: American artist Luis Alfonso Jiménez Jr. dies in his Hondo, New Mexico, studio while working on his 32-foot-tall sculpture titled Blue Mustang, which is now at the Denver International Airport. A large piece of the sculpture came loose from a hoist, fell on him, and severed an artery in his leg.

This is a completely different blue Mustang.
