1868 - ▲(birth) Nicholas II of Russia, the last Emperor of Russia.
The day is April 26 in the Japanese calendar. In fact, on April 26, 1868, the Imperial envoy arrives at Edo castle and demands the surrender of the Tokugawa samurai government. On the other hand, Nicholas II, the last Russian Emperor, surrendered to the communist revolutionaries on March 15, 1917.
※
Those incidents have shown that Nicholas II had been destined to be the last emperor when he had been born. In other words, there were neither ideological, economic, nor political reasons for the Russian Revolution and the revolution was a mere historical parody.

June 23, 1985 - ★A terrorist bomb aboard Air India flight 182 brings the Boeing 747 down.
The bombing occurs off the coast of Ireland killing all 329 aboard.
The day is the 100th anniversary of Robert Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury's assumption of office of British prime minister (June 23, 1885).
※
Salisbury became Secretary of State for India twice, in 1866 and in 1874.
In 1885, Lord Salisbury appointed his nephew Arthur Balfour as President of the Local Government Board; the following year he became Secretary for Scotland, with a seat in the cabinet. These offices, while offering few opportunities for distinction, served as an apprenticeship for Balfour. In early 1887, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, resigned because of illness and Salisbury appointed his nephew in his place. The selection took the political world by surprise and possibly led to the British phrase "Bob's your uncle!".
This story was a typical Japan's conspiracy. Japan's conspiracy is very complicated. When they want to introduce nepotism in their regime, they dare to appoint their relatives to an important position, regardless of criticism against them. However, their relatives betray their opponents' expectations by doing things very rightly. Then people begin to believe that nepotism can be better than democratic selection.
The air carrier was Air India. The Airplane crashed at the sea off Ireland. The crash occurred on the 100th anniversary of Salisbury's assumption of office of British prime minister. So, it is highly probable that the crash was the parody on the well-known expression "Bob's your uncle!".
