Nobuo Fujita holds the rare distinction of being the only foreign pilot to ever have dropped bombs on the continental United States, near Brookings, Oregon after being launched from submarine I-25 in a Yokosuka "Glen". He arrived on Sept. 9, 1942, just after the Doolittle Raid left Tokyo in shambles. After the war, he presented Brookings with his 400-year-old katana to express his regret.
The Time When The Only Foreign Pilot To Drop Bombs On The Continental U.S. Came Back To Visit
Sept 9, 1947: a team working on the Mark II at Harvard University recorded the first actual "computer bug" when an error was discovered to be caused by a moth stuck to a relay component. The team included RADM Grace Hopper who helped popularize the terms "computer bug" and "debug".
Comedian Rich Hall presents an alternative history of the Cold War, from nuclear near misses and fallout shelters to the CIA wiring a cat to spy on the Russian ambassador in RED MENACE. IMDB

Jennifer Connelly had part of her finger bitten off by the chimpanzee in the final scene at the end of the film. She was rushed to the hospital and her finger was re-attached.
September 9, 2020: San Francisco Bay Area was engulfed by dark orange skies. The eerie hue came from thick wildfire smoke trapped by a marine layer. The air quality reached hazardous levels of over 180 AQI at its worst. These atmospheric events are rare and emphasize how crazy the 2020 fire season was and 2020 in general! Many likened the view to the red sky in Blade Runner (comparison top pic).

Quote:2019 marks the 30th year since the fall of the Berlin Wall and, ostensibly, the end of the Cold War. In light of this, Rich Hall embarks on an examination of the relationship between the West and the East, America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
In his unique way, Rich looks at the propaganda, ignorance, fear and secrecy, and the natural offspring of these, paranoia, and considers how a 40-year stand-off between the superpowers brought the US and Russia to the verge of nuclear war.
The documentary does not look at the Cold War from an American perspective alone. Rich Hall also delves into the psyche of those living in the Soviet Union, of those who took part in the machinations, plots and conspiracies, and of ordinary citizens who, like Rich, lived through this most tense of times.
The Cold War and America’s obsession with communism and the Soviet Union isn’t just about the race to produce the atom bomb and conquer space. It’s about spying, political scheming and the fear of communism in Hollywood, in literature and on television.
It was science fiction. It went from the absurd to the ridiculous. It even created incredible sporting drama. Rich uses the bizarre, the extraordinary and previously untold stories to give us his take on the Cold War and America’s hysterical preoccupation with the ‘Red Menace’.
