analysts and residents say that this
terrorist attack must have been an

Fury’s so much news so little time
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
events that were completely overshadowed
by other events I was at the time I’m
cooking the only branded bottle ahead
and booked toast myself for this list
we’re taking a look at significant
events that could have been top news
stories any other day but flew under the
radar due to another event that received
the lion’s share of the media coverage a
warrant for the arrest of OJ Simpson
charging him with the murders of Nicole
Brown Simpson and Ronald Lyle Goldman
number 10 the war on waste overshadowed
by the 9/11 terrorist attacks on
September 10th 2001 Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference
announcing that the US Defense
Department had been unable to trace 2.3
trillion dollars
Rumsfeld came down on Pentagon
bureaucracy stating that wasted funds
could be a matter of quote life and
death but this crackdown on misspending
was stopped dead in its tracks the very
next day
tragically two hijacked planes crashed
into the World Trade Center on the
morning of September 11th while a third
was flown into the Pentagon and a fourth
crashed in a Pennsylvania field compared
to the thousands of deaths on 9/11 the
missing 2.3 trillion dollars suddenly
seemed like an inconsequential loss the
war on waste ultimately took a backseat
to the war on terror which cost an
estimated five trillion dollars number
nine the death of Groucho Marx
overshadowed by the death of Elvis
Presley you ain’t
the world lost a comedic legend on
August 19 1977 when Groucho Marx died at
the age of 86 I’m in a hurry to the
House of Representatives right like fury
if you running a gasket Ethel if Ethel
runs out get Mabel now step on his death
was somewhat overlooked by the media
however as Elvis Presley had died from a
heart attack three days earlier Elvis
was only 42 years old and arguably the
biggest solo musical artist in the world
and his death triggered a massive
outpouring of emotion from fans
worldwide while Elvis had never really
left the limelight Marx had become an
elder statesman of comedy and vaudeville
and as such hadn’t really been in the
spotlight for nearly a decade when you
get through with heart beat you can
start online if that isn’t an insult I
don’t know what is while both men left
behind rich legacies media attention
tended to latch on to the younger
charismatic and revolutionary figure
that was Elvis Presley number eight the
Beirut terror attacks overshadowed by
the Paris terror attacks and we are
coming back on the air right now with
more on that horrifying night in Paris
police have now confirmed at least four
attacks when Isis bombed a local refugee
camp on November 12 2015 Beirut Lebanon
suffered its most severe terrorist
attacks since the Lebanese civil war
with 43 total casualties this tragedy
likely would have been all over the news
in social media if it weren’t for
another act of terror committed one day
later on November 13th isis bombed st.
denis a northern suburb in Paris France
leaving 130 people dead and hundreds
more injured given the higher death toll
the Paris attacks caused many people to
forget about the Beirut attacks
nevertheless there’s no denying these
were two incredibly dark days for
Humanity that mustn’t be ignored number
7 the doctor who pilot overshadowed by
the death of John F Kennedy
although doctor who would develop a
passionate cult following over time it
had the misfortune of premiering the day
after three influential individuals died
on November 22nd 1963 fantasy author CS
Lewis and novelist Aldous
we passed away the most talked about
news story that day however was the
assassination of American president John
F Kennedy Kennedy’s death shocked the
world and remains one of the darkest
moments in US history from Dallas Texas
the flash apparently official President
Kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. Central
Standard Time coverage of the
assassination briefly delayed the debut
of Doctor Who the next evening and led
the BBC to repeat the episode the
following week not quite clear this is I
can see by your face that you’re not
saying you don’t understand it may not
have had the full attention of its
audience at the start but doctor who
managed to become the longest running
sci-fi series ever bad omens aside human
race just keeps on going
keeps on changing number six
Harriet Quimby’s flight overshadowed by
the sinking of the Titanic in addition
to being the first woman in the United
States to attain a pilot’s license
Harriet Quimby was also the first female
aviator to fly across the English
Channel taking off in Dover England on
April 16 1912 she reached her
destination in 59 minutes landing on a
beach in northern France but where
Quimby successfully completed her voyage
the same could not be said about the RMS
Titanic after hitting an iceberg this
passenger liner sank in the North
Atlantic Ocean on April 15 1912 claiming
over 1,500 lives overshadowed by this
disaster Quimby never got her moment in
the Sun and died in an aviation accident
a couple of months later leaving many to
consider her an unsung hero number five
the death of Mother Teresa overshadowed
by the death of Princess Diana mother
Teresa and Diana Princess of Wales had a
great deal in common helping to raise
awareness of leprosy and hiv/aids
Princess Diana notably visited Mother
Teresa at a New York convent in June of
1997 on August 31st just a couple of
months after the meeting the 36 year old
lady died died following a car crash in
Paris less than a week after her
untimely death
Teresa passed away due to heart failure
on
Timber v but with the public already
coping with the sudden loss of Diana
Teresa’s death didn’t receive nearly as
much media attention nonetheless these
two women are still remembered for their
dedication and compassion ultimately
making the world a better place
you candles burn up before you let you
never wing number four a man growing
across an ocean overshadowed by a man
walking on the moon John Fairfax became
the first man to row solo across an
entire ocean with the journey taking 180
days starting his adventure at the
Canary Islands Fairfax crossed the
Atlantic and arrived in Florida on July
19 1969
unfortunately this just so happened to
be the day before Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to
land on the moon at 104 man
Armstrong’s one small step for man might
have eclipsed
John Fairfax’s Crossing but his
incredible feat didn’t go completely
unrecognized the Apollo 11 crew
themselves sent Fairfax a congratulatory
message stating quote as fellow
explorers we salute you on this great
occasion but few others took notice
number three the death of Farrah Fawcett

following a battle with cancer Farrah
Fawcett died on June 25th 2009 although
faucets deteriorating health was among
the most widely discussed topics in the
news she ultimately had to share the
spotlight with Michael Jackson who was
pronounced dead
that same day while Fawcett was still
heavily mourned the king of pops passing
dominated popular culture MJ’s death was
front-page news
but Fawcett’s was relegated to back
pages and entertainment sections worse
still was the Oscars in memoriam
segments the following year which
featured Jackson but saw Fawcett
controversially excluded number two the
1994 NBA Finals overshadowed by OJ
Simpson’s car chase the idea of a major
league final getting overshadowed might
seem unthinkable but that’s exactly what
happened during the telecast of the 1994
NBA Finals on June 13 1994 OJ Simpson’s
ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and friend
Ron Goldman were discovered murdered in
Los Angeles and OJ quickly became the
prime suspect Simpson was to turn
himself into police custody on Friday
June 17th but instead fled in his white
Ford Bronco triggering the now infamous
low-speed chase

going to shoot him
[Music]
number one the capture of Rome
overshadowed by Operation Overlord even
if you never paid attention in history
class you’re familiar with Operation
Overlord also known as d-day taking
place on June 6 1944 this operation
commenced the invasion of Normandy with
Allied forces storming French shores
d-day occurred only a couple of days
after American troops seized Rome on
June 4th
unlike the Normandy invasion however
this mission wasn’t entirely successful
in the long run as it resulted in German
forces escaping due to a miscalculation
that later resulted in allied casualties
the Normandy landings meanwhile remain
the largest beach invasion ever with
that day proving to be a major turning
point in the course of the Second World
War
