Disappearance of a squadron in the Bermuda Triangle and other events on Dec. 5
Today we are going to tell you about the events that took place on December 5 in world history. In 1970, the first International Volunteer Day was celebrated. This day was established by the United Nations to recognize the importance of volunteerism. Volunteers help solve social, economic, and environmental problems and make the world a better place. Their work is an expression of humanity and selfless support. In 1848, gold was discovered in California, sparking the Gold Rush. The news instantly spread around the world, forcing thousands of people to set out in search of wealth. This phenomenon not only changed the lives of many, but also accelerated the development of the U.S. economy. California became the center of the American Dream. On December 5, 1945, a squadron of five planes disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. A training flight ended with a loss of communication and the wreckage was never found. This has given rise to numerous theories, ranging from weather conditions to mystical explanations. The legend of the Bermuda Triangle remains one of the most mysterious. In 1456, a massive earthquake struck Naples. About 35 thousand people died and the city was almost destroyed. The tragedy forced many people to rethink their lives and encouraged the development of research in seismology. Naples was able to recover and left the experience in the memory of generations. In 1952, London was hit by the Great Smog, caused by a combination of fog and coal emissions. This phenomenon claimed the lives of thousands of people suffering from respiratory diseases. The disaster forced the government to pass laws that improved air quality in the United Kingdom. This lesson reminds us of the importance of environmental stewardship.
