George Wendt’s Norm Peterson was Cheers bar regular and occasionally-employed accountant. A recurrent joke on the show, especially in the earlier seasons, is that the Norm character was such a popular and constant fixture at the bar that anytime he entered through the front door, everyone present would yell out his name ("NORM!") .

Every Norm entrance.

Burt Reynolds was born OTD in 1936.
Burt was one of the biggest stars in the world. If it wasn't for a certain sci-fi movie from a galaxy far far away, Smokey and the Bandit would've been the #1 hit of 1977. If you wanna see two people fall in love, watch this movie.

Rick Rescorla is credited with saving all but 6 of his 2700 employees during the 9/11 attacks by directing people down the stairs of the South Tower using a bullhorn and encouraging them by singing Cornish songs.

Rick Rescorla, a former British military officer, served as the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

The 1993 terrorist attack on the complex deeply impacted him, reinforcing concerns he had already raised about the building's security vulnerabilities before the bombing.

Believing the World Trade Center would face another attack, Rescorla consistently drilled Morgan Stanley employees in emergency evacuations, a practice that ultimately saved their lives on September 11, 2001.

On the morning of the attacks, Rescorla grabbed his megaphone and instructed nearly 3,000 Morgan Stanley workers to follow the evacuation plan he had instilled in them.

As they descended the stairwell, shaken by the second plane's impact, he used his megaphone not only to guide them but also to soothe their nerves, singing Cornish and Welsh songs to keep them calm.

During the evacuation, Rescorla called his wife, telling her, “Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something happens to me, know that I've never been happier. You made my life.”

After successfully evacuating most of the employees, someone suggested his job was done, urging him to leave. He responded, "You hear those screams? There are more people up there. I have to help get them out."

He was last seen heading back up the stairwell, around the 10th floor, before the South Tower collapsed. His body was never recovered.

Out of the 2,700 Morgan Stanley employees, only six sadly perished. Rescorla is credited with saving thousands of lives that day.

⁦@WeHaveWaysPod⁩ ⁦@WW2TV⁩ just back from Grandcamp-Maisy, a great week, but can someone explain the battery at Maisy and why we know so little about it. PCA mentions it, but did the allies miss it in the lead up?

[Maurice Regan @MossRegan]

@WeHaveWaysPod Right assistance required, last minute week in Grandcamp-Maisy next week. Suggestions and must do’s needed. Swotting up on PCA and James’ books. History, sauce and ration suggestions welcome.

Stormy Daniels to Rachel #Maddow "That's the only thing that proves that he did take his clothes off in front of me and you know as well as I that if he hadn't, that I was lying, he would have whipped his junk out a long time ago and proved that I was a liar."

#OnThisDay 1944: Actor Richard Todd took part in Operation Tonga on what is now known as D-Day.
60 years on in 2004, he revisited his landing site in Normandy, returned to Pegasus Bridge and reflected on his experience of war.

Andy Rooney landed on the beach of Normandy days after D-Day, 80 years ago today. In 2004, he shared a firsthand account of “a day unlike any other.”

“It’s hard for anyone who has been in a war to describe the terror of it to anyone who hasn’t,” he said. https://t.co/xknrIeLymT.
