Answer:
On February 25, 1996 a few things occurred. A sad memory was that two suicide bombs in Israel killed 27 people and injured 80 people. Another interesting thing that happened was the first picture of NASA's highly successful series of High Energy Astrophysical Observatory (HEAO) spacecraft. In other news, at 9:55 pm, in the Johnson Space Center in Texas a tether holding a half-ton satellite to the space shuttle Columbia broke Sunday, hurling the multi-million dollar device into space.
I wrote a paper about it because it's my birthday !
