September 30, 1955 –
Teen idol James Dean was killed in a car accident that probably could have been avoided if he had had his car inspected and tuned up regularly, obeyed all posted highway signs, and driven only when alert and sober on this date.
(Remember kids, if you are going to drink til you drop – And don’t drive. If Alec Guinness tells you something, listen to him. Also watch your own PSAs.)
And so it goes
