The microwave oven was invented accidentally in 1945 by Percy Spencer, a Raytheon engineer. While testing a magnetron, he noticed microwaves melted a candy bar in his pocket. Experimenting further, he discovered microwaves could cook food quickly. Raytheon patented the process, and by 1947, they built the first commercial microwave oven, called the 'Radarange.' Initially used in commercial settings, microwaves becomes affordable for home use by the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionizing cooking.1945

1962 - The Cuban Missile Crisis was a tense 13-day standoff in October 1962 between the United States and the Soviet Union over the installation of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S. coast. The crisis is considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. It began when American spy planes discovered the missiles, leading to a U.S. naval blockade of Cuba and intense negotiations. The crisis ended when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba and secretly agreeing to remove American missiles from Turkey.

Two-day traffic toll hits 4 in 3 smashups

The latest of the accidents occurred about 8:30 a.m. today when a tanker, believed to be owned by a Bakersfield firm, overturned on the Highway 166 onramp to Highway 99, just south of Mettler.
The tanker, loaded with crude oil exploded into flames which careened all the way down the onramp, forcing closure of Highway 166 until the fire burned out.
Driver of the tanker, not immediately identified, was pulled from the wreckage but was pronounced dead at the scene by a deputy coroner.
Victims of the other two accidents were identified as Arnold Belser, 40, 2421 Planz Road, Apt. 9; Arthur Mueller, 61, 10411 Rosedale Highway; and his wife, Katherine Mueller, 50.
