14 April

On 14 April 1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theatre in Washington DC by John Wilkes Booth. (AUDIO: Assassin in the Limelight) He survived until the following morning.

In 1912, another major tragedy occurred: the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg as it crossed the North Atlantic Ocean. As the ship sank, the Seventh Doctor stopped Huitzilin from acquiring the Xiuhcoatl. (PROSE: The Left-Handed Hummingbird) Charley Pollard was born at the same time. (AUDIO: Neverland)
