Bummer September 12th
September 12, 1912: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student William Rand dies during a class hazing ritual. Forced to sing and dance on top of a wooden barrel, Rand either falls off the barrel or has it kicked out from under him. A broken bottle pierces his neck and he bleeds to death before help can arrive.
September 12, 1977: Poet Robert Lowell dies of a heart attack in a taxi cab on his way to see his ex-wife, writer and literary critic Elizabeth Hardwick.
September 12, 1992: Actor Anthony Perkins, age 60, dies of AIDS-related pneumonia at his home in Los Angeles.
September 12, 1994: Truck driver Frank Eugene Corder flies a stolen Cessna 150 aircraft onto the lawn of the White House, crashing the plane and dying in the attempt. No one else is injured. Corder’s motivation may have simply been publicity.
