Wikipedia birthday meme

There's a meme going around where you go to Wikipedia, search on the date of your birth (without the year), and pick three interesting events, two births, and two deaths from that day.

So here are mine, for March 9th:

Events:

1964 - The first Ford Mustang rolls off the assembly line at Ford Motor Company.
1986 - United States Navy divers find the largely intact but heavily-damaged crew compartment of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The bodies of all seven astronauts were still inside.
2005 - Dan Rather presents his final broadcast of the CBS Evening News.

Births:

1934 - Yuri Gagarin, Soviet cosmonaut (d. 1968)
1940 - Raúl Juliá, Puerto Rican actor (d. 1994)

Deaths:

1996 - George Burns, American actor and singer (b. 1896)
2004 - Robert Pastorelli, American actor (b. 1954)
