History has swung between highs and lows on August 7. In 1973, seven crew members were rescued after being trapped on a submarine. It was a tense, brave moment that showed how people pull together in a crisis.
On a very different note, in 1974 Philippe Petit walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in New York. It was daring. It was wild. It felt like a live performance for the whole city.

In 2005, Coldplay released a song that would become a slow-building anthem. It was radio-friendly and full of emotion. Fans played it everywhere.
