40 years ago today, Salvador Sanchez died in a car accident.

Sorry I need to be a **** from time to time, it fills a need.

JFK's assassination; the Challenger explosion; 911 --> Yes I do?

MlK's assassination; RFK's assassination; the Columbia explosion; Kent State Massacre; --> No!

Sanchez ? I don't think I heard he was dead until some fight announcer mentioned it in passing, I think.

P.S. Oh, I remember where I was the day Nixon quit --> on the boardwalk, Sea Side Heights, N.J. --> Trump's impeachment(s), Na!

The Challenger explosion. Just a few months later, we had the Chernobyl accident threatening all of us living in Europe. It was a confusing year

The Columbia explosion
A space freak as I am, I was quite devastated by this accident.
On youtube, you can watch (or rather not) the astronauts happy smiles entering the earth's gravity, unaware of what NASA knew, that they had no chance of surviving.

Sanchez's death, I learned through the weekly paper Boxing News. His death made him a legend, but it was a strong era for boxing, so if alive, he would have had several tough challenges waiting for him.
