6th June

Events
1944 - World War II: Battle of Normandy begins. Operation Overlord, code named D-Day, commences with the landing of 155,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy in France. The allied soldiers quickly break through the Atlantic Wall and push inland in the largest amphibious military operation in history.

1969 - The first Internet connection was created when network control protocol packets were sent from the data port of one IMP to another

2002 - A near-Earth asteroid estimated at 10 metres diameter explodes over the Mediterranean Sea. The resulting explosion is estimated to have a force of 26 kilotons, slightly more powerful than the Nagasaki atomic bomb.

Births
1799 - Alexander Pushkin Russian poet (d. 1837)

1949 - Robert Englund, American actor

Deaths

Of course I cheated and left off a particular death/event that most Americans would select
