- A major assassination and an Asian coup d'état occur, both on the same day. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")
- Also on the same day as the assassination and coup, the United States of America launches an orbital nuclear weapons platform from McKinley Rocket Base. Following the launch, the platform develops a severe malfunction, and begins to reenter the atmosphere.
