This Day In #History - July 15, 1988
Die Hard premiers with a couple bangs and a boom, or two!
John Mcclane, portrayed by Bruce Willis, a NYPD cop makes his way to LA to see Holly Mcclane, but comes to find out that she changed her name in the Nakatomi Tower registry. Because they had just become divorced.
Later in the movie Hans Gruber, Portrayed by the late Alan Rickman(edit), showed up with a group of terrorists, took them all hostage, just to rob the company of 600 million in bonds.
After a few hours of killing about 5 or 6 bad guys, Mcclane, and Grindr faced off on one of the top floors, And Hans repeated a line from earlier to John "Yippie Ki-Yay ......." after that is when he falls of the building.
And so one of the best movie franchisees gets started and four more Die Hards would follow, to make a total of five for the franchise.
Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, and the initial stage of Operation Overlord, which was the plan to liberate Northwestern Europe from the Nazi occupation.
The Term D-Day is used routinely as military lingo for the day an operation or event will take place, for many it is also synonymous with June 6, 1944, the day the Allied powers crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, France.
On U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's orders, 6,000 landing craft, ships and other vessels carrying 176,000 troops began to leave England for the trip to France. That night on June 6th, 822 aircraft filled with parachutists headed for drop zones in Normandy. An additional 13,000 aircraft were mobilized to provide air cover and support for the invasion.
By dawn on June 6, 18,000 parachutists were already on the ground; the land invasions began at 6:30 a.m. The British and Canadians overcame light opposition to capture Gold, Juno and Sword beaches; so did the Americans at Utah. The task was much tougher at Omaha beach, however, where 2,000 troops were lost and it was only through the tenacity and quick-witted-ness of troops on the ground that the objective was achieved. By day’s end, 155,000 Allied troops–Americans, British and Canadians–had successfully stormed Normandy’s beaches.
The heroism and bravery displayed by troops from the Allied countries on D-Day has served as inspiration for several films, most famously The Longest Day (1962) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). It was also depicted in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers (2001).
