Invasion of Kuwait in History

The 2nd of August, 1990, was overwhelming for all Kuwaities. However, what else was going on that day? Following are some tidbits:
  • Sven-Erik Soderman, driving an Opel Kadett at Mora, Sweden, set a world's record in stunt driving after he reached a speed of 102.14 mph while driving his car on two side wheels.
  • New York Yankees 5 Detroit Tigers 6 (After 14 innings). Also, Yankees rookie Kevin Maas hits his 10th home run in just 77 at bats.
  • OJ Simpson trial judge to be Lance Ito celebrated his 40th birthday. Also celebrating a birthday was actor Peter O'Toole from Lawrence of Arabia (57th).
  • This day also marked the following:
    • Grenada- Emancipation Day
    • Lesotho- National Tree Planting Day
    • Malawi- Bank Holiday
    • U.S.- National Ice Cream Sandwich Day
  • Coming soon: A Timeline of terror and Kuwait
