Today is Wednesday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2025.
There are 308 days left in the year.

ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY

On Feb. 26, 1993, a truck bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of the North Tower of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others. (The bomb failed to topple the North Tower into the South Tower, as the terrorists had hoped; both structures were destroyed in the 9/11 attack eight years later.)


1815 — Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba, sailing back to France in a bid to regain power.

1919 — President Woodrow Wilson signed an act making the Grand Canyon a national park.

1952 — Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb.

2013 — A hot air balloon burst into flames during a sunrise flight over the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor and then plummeted 1,000 feet to earth, killing 19 tourists.

2017 — At the Academy Awards, “Moonlight” won three Oscars, including best picture of 2016; in a startling gaffe, the musical “La La Land” was mistakenly announced as the best picture winner before the error was corrected.
