Diego_Sideburns Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm posting this early as I'm going to the funeral of an ex-Chairman of Burton Albion, with whom I used to work. It will soon be 11:11:11 on 11.11.11 111111 x 111111 = 12345654321. Apart from being a unique Armistice Day this year, it’s just another day, but what about 100 years ago? 50 degree temperature drops are not unusual in the USA, but on 11th November, 1911, the ‘Great Blue Norther’ descended upon America. The day started fine and there were even record highs for that time of year. Then it all changed. Within the space of ten minutes, the temperature dropped 40 to 50 degrees. By midnight a 66 degree temperature drop was recorded. There were dust storms, thunderstorms, tornados, and blizzards. Over 300 deaths were reported. Could today be more significant than just another day? The heavy metal band Black Sabbath is holding a press conference at 11:11 (USA time), at the spot where they made their American debut, the Whiskey a Go-Go in Los Angeles, 11:11:11.11.11. and the film ‘Project 11’ is being premiered at the same time.
