The Aero Club of Italy has set a prize of $20,000 for anyone who can fly over the Simplon Pass between the Swiss village of Brighe and the Italian town of Domodossola near Milan. Initially, eight pilots decided to accept the challenge, but after examining the route of the route, the mountain peaks surrounding the pass, shrouded in clouds, most of them decided not to risk it. Chavez, 23, took off for the first time on September 19, but when he discovered dense clouds over the pass, he was forced to turn back. On Friday, September 23, the Rhone River valley was bathed in sun rays, freshly fallen snow sparkled on the mountain peaks. “Whatever happens, I will find myself on the other side of the Alps,” Chavez said, getting into the cockpit of his Blériot. Having gained altitude in circles, he headed towards the track. Numerous spectators gathered on the road (the pilot had to pass over control points) saw how the pilot fought with air currents, tried to get around snow clouds surrounded by mountains. When the most dangerous sections were passed and the final goal was already close, at an altitude of 30 meters his plane suddenly crashed down. On the ground, it seemed to some that it had been overturned by a gust of wind, to others that the wings of the plane had simply broken. The pilot was pulled from the wreckage, but he never regained consciousness and died four days later.

Most significant dates for September 2018, for which you should prepare in advance so as not to miss the most interesting things.

From mid-summer, school bazaars remind of the inevitable approach of Knowledge Day. Someone looks at them with hope, someone calculates the cost of getting their offspring ready for school, and someone is glad that school time is a thing of the past for them. September 8 is International Literacy Day. If you are reading this article, then you are one of the 4 billion literate people. In many regions, children do not have the opportunity to study.

On September 1, the air is filled with something new, you can feel it, you just need to take a deep breath. It’s not for nothing that our ancestors celebrated New Year on this day (according to the new style - September 14), they harvested and planned preparations for the new season. On Thekla Beetroot, beet harvesting began, and on Titus Deciduous, the last mushrooms were collected. No less important than the New Year for Muslims around the world is the holiday of Kurban Bayram, which falls on September 13 in 2018. The holiday originates from the sacrifice of Abraham. It is supposed to distribute food to the poor and give gifts to family members.

On September 1, the whole world remembers a sad date. In 1939, Germany, with the participation of Slovak troops, attacked Poland and marked the beginning of the Second War. On September 2, six years later, in 1945, this war ended. Many are outraged that history books write that the Americans won World War II. This is not a mistake, since the bombs that the United States dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked the end of this war. A Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany much earlier, on May 9.

On September 11, we remember the tragedy when two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York fifteen years ago. But few people know that forty years ago an An-2 plane crashed into a residential building in Novosibirsk. The pilot wanted to take revenge on his ex-wife. She left him for her parents, taking the child. 11 people died, but the “hero of the occasion” and her relatives were not in the house.

The oldest organization fighting international crime is Interpol, created in 1923, which celebrates its birthday on September 7th.

Important dates in September 2018 are also related to the protection of nature and environment. 45 years ago, on September 15, the Greenpeace organization was created, and ten years later the foundation was founded wildlife(WWF). Of the holidays dedicated to specific animals, it is worth noting international night bats September 20th and Elephant Protection Day on the 22nd.

A number of countries celebrate Independence Day in September: Uzbekistan (1), Vietnam (2), Tunisia (3), Brazil (7), Tajikistan (9), Costa Rica (15), Mexico (16), Armenia (21), Bulgaria (22).

Are you planning a vacation abroad for September, but haven’t decided where exactly to go? A series of festivals are coming up in Europe: Pizzafest in Naples, Flamenco Festival in Seville and Oktoberfest in Munich. Other holidays are Tourism Day on September 27 and Sea Day on the 29th.

There are significant dates in September 2018 that can be celebrated in a fun way. September 7th is Salami Day, invented in 2006 by two American women, which is supported by more and more Russians every year. On September 17, Russia celebrates International Juice Day, calling for people to remember that juice is not only tasty, but also healthy. Chewing gum celebrates its birthday on September 23rd. September 11 is the Russian Day of Sobriety, which is established Orthodox Church in 1913. When there is an alcoholic among the people you care about, on this day you should pray for his recovery. By coincidence, Faceted Glass Day is the date when the first faceted glass with a smooth rim, designed by Vera Ignatievna Mukhina, was released in the city of Gus-Khrustalny, also on September 11th.

Anniversary dates September 2018:

260 years ago, 09/10/1756, established Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, the first professional theater in Russia.

210 years ago, 09/29/1806 Nadezhda Durova, dressed in a man’s outfit and took male name, joined the Cossack regiment. The film “Hussar Ballad” was shot based on this event.
