3)A glaciar avalanche in Russia covers a village on September 20, 2002. It kills more than 100 people.The North Ossetia area of Russia was hard hit by floods in June 2002. These floods, along with an early and hot summer, proved to be a precursor to a much larger disaster in September. Large glaciers sit above the town of Vladikavkaz. With higher than normal temperatures in 2002, more and more water run off showed that these glaciers were beginning to melt and become more weak by the day. Here is a video of the avalanche [].  4)On September 20 1777,near Paoli, Pennsylvania, General Charles Grey and nearly 5,000 British soldiers launch a surprise attack on a regiment of Patriot troops controlled by General Anthony Wayne in which is known as the Paoli Massacre.

Outer space became another frontier in the Cold War. Kennedy upped the ante in 1961 when he announced that the United States would put a man on the moon before the end of the decade.
