At random: The United States submarine USS TRITON was fitted with twin reactors and was considered the longest submarine ever built until the advent of the OHIO class. The TRITON was designed for a surface displacement of 5,900 tons. Large submarines of other countries have been the Japanese I-400 (5,220 tons), and the French SURCOUF (2,880 tons).

It was 50 years ago today that a plane crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa and killed 4 people.

Can you name all 4?

Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. 'The Big Bopper' Richardson and the pilot, Roger Peterson.

I've seen Buddy Holly's larger-than-life statue in Lubbock, Texas.

I've been listening to his music all day.

Cora wins the prize!!!! Everyone forgets there was a pilot aboard. Roger Peterson!! His family misses him too.

I, too, have seen the statue in Lubbock. Stayed in a hotel right next to it in the middle of a sand storm.

Yeh, Buddy is THE MAN. The Big Bopper.

"Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, Pretty Pretty Pretty, Peggy Sue"

His music has always inspired me too, Cora.
