00:00It's a very serious, a very serious situation here, and I can tell you one that is hard to believe with my own eyes.
00:19The French capital's emergency services immediately announced Mr. Elfian and the driver had died,
00:24but it took them two hours to cut the princess out of the twisted wreckage.
00:30Number 20. Black Saturday forest fires, eclipsed by 2008 financial crisis.
00:36The Black Saturday forest fires that ravaged Australia between February 7 and March 14, 2009,
00:42were considered one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the country.
00:47During this period, a series of about 400 forest fires were declared in Victoria,
01:02the most densely populated state in Australia.
01:05Despite its immense impact within the country,
01:07the catastrophe received limited attention from international media,
01:12largely due to the global financial crisis of that moment.
01:17In the month of September 2008, at a rate that was like a tsunami.
01:22The global economic upheaval that began to develop in early 2007
01:27reached its peak in late 2008 and early 2009,
01:31leaving very few reporters and resources available to cover other events.
01:36As a result, the Black Saturday forest fires, which claimed 173 lives and destroyed thousands of homes,
01:44continued to have little impact on the world scene.
01:53Number 19. The explosion of Halifax, eclipsed by the US declaration of war on Austria-Hungary.
02:00On December 6, 1917, a French cargo ship carrying a large number of explosives
02:07collided with a Norwegian ship in the port of Halifax, in New Scotland, Canada.
02:11The resulting explosion devastated the city, killing almost 2,000 people and injuring thousands more.
02:28In any other period, it would have been the main news,
02:31but it went unnoticed because it happened during a critical moment of the First World War.
02:36The next day of the disaster, the Congress and the Senate of the United States
02:40approved a resolution declaring war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
02:44which was signed by President Woodrow Wilson that same day.
02:49Woodrow Wilson, after all, runs for re-election in 1916 on the slogan,
02:54he kept us out of war. And yet within a year after winning that election,
02:58that very same president is declaring war on the Germans.
03:02This diverted the world's attention from the tragedy,
03:05despite the large number of human victims and the immense destruction it caused in Halifax.
03:11Number 18. The Soviet Union stops an American convoy,
03:15eclipsed by the day the music died.
03:18February 3, 1959, generally remembered as the day the music died,
03:24due to the air crash in which the musicians Booty Holley,
03:28Richard Ballance and J.P. The Big Bopper Richardson died.
03:41This tragic event was widely spread,
03:44and since then several songs and movies have references to it.
03:55This immense coverage eclipsed another significant incident that occurred on the same day.
04:00In Western Germany, in the midst of the tensions of the Cold War,
04:04five soldiers of the American army were arrested by Soviet officers
04:09after refusing to let their trucks inspected when they crossed from East Germany.
04:14This action, perceived by the United States as a provocation by the Soviet Union,
04:19would have been important news if not for the attention attracted by the air crash.
04:24Number 17. Frank Sinatra's death, eclipsed by the end of Seinfeld.
04:40At first glance, Frank Sinatra and Seinfeld have nothing in common,
04:44but they are actually united in a rather heartbreaking way.
04:48On May 14, 1998, Seinfeld aired its long-awaited series finale.
04:54How do you find with respect to the charge of criminal indifference?
04:58We find the defendants...
05:01...guilty.
05:04However, while 76 million people gathered around their televisions for the farewell of the series,
05:11Sinatra suffered a massive heart attack in his Los Angeles residence,
05:15and was urgently taken to the hospital.
05:17According to the chief of firefighters, the rapid transfer of the star was facilitated by the unusually empty streets,
05:23as millions of people were at home tuning in to the end.
05:27Even Sinatra's daughter, Nancy, missed the opportunity to spend her last moments with him,
05:32as she was also absorbed in the show.
05:34Tragically, despite the efforts, the iconic singer died.
05:45Number 16. 1989 World Series, eclipsed by Loma Prieta's earthquake.
05:53The beach was so loud, it felt like a train was coming through the door.
05:58Now he said, earthquake, and auxiliary lights flipped on, and I was gone.
06:04Although many of the entries on this list were eclipsed by other events that occurred elsewhere,
06:10this one stands out for having happened in the same place.
06:14In 1989, the baseball fever took over the Bay Area of California,
06:19when two of its local teams, the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants,
06:24reached the World Series.
06:26However, just before the third game began on October 17,
06:32a 6.9 earthquake shook the general coast of California,
06:36causing widespread damage and taking 63 lives with it.
06:50Although Candlestick Park, the stadium of the game, remained intact,
06:55the World Series was postponed for 10 days.
06:58As attention was diverted to the consequences of the Loma Prieta earthquake,
07:02the championship was put on the back burner of media coverage.
07:06Number 15. The Peshtigo Fire, eclipsed by the Great Chicago Fire.
07:19In the populace of Peshtigo, they feel that 800 survived.
07:24The Peshtigo Fire, in 1871, which ravaged northeast Wisconsin and parts of Michigan,
07:30takes its name from the city of Peshtigo, which was the most affected.
07:34Despite being the deadliest forest fire in history,
07:38which consumed more than a million acres and claimed up to 2,500 lives,
07:42its importance was eclipsed by a similar calamity in a larger city.
07:47On the same day, Chicago suffered a tragedy that caused significant damage,
07:52and approximately 300 deaths.
08:00Although both events were tragic, it should be assumed that the Peshtigo Fire,
08:05with a higher number of deaths, would have attracted more attention from the media.
08:09However, as it was much less developed than Chicago,
08:13its tragedy practically disappeared from historical accounts and public memory.
08:18Number 14. The death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, eclipsed by the Tiananmen Massacre.
08:25On June 4, 1989, the Chinese government sent troops to open fire
08:30against thousands of peaceful protesters in Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
08:36China is a nation at war with itself. As a result, the world is a much different place tonight.
08:42Although the exact figures vary, some estimates suggest that the number of deaths reached 2,600.
08:49This excessively violent reaction to peaceful demonstrations
08:53captured the attention of the world and completely eclipsed
08:56other events that occurred in that same period.
09:00Just the night before, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,
09:05who led the Islamic Revolution and shaped the country's policy for years.
09:11But this fact went unnoticed.
09:21Other events that were eclipsed by the massacre
09:24were the deadly Ufa railway disaster in the Soviet Union
09:28and the first partially free elections in Poland.
09:32Number 13.
09:33The first possession of Dwight D. Eisenhower,
09:36eclipsed by the son of Lucy Ricardo, Lucille Ball.
09:40If you are watching this video,
09:42it is most likely that you were not alive when the classic comedy
09:46I Love Lucy was broadcast in the 1950s.
09:49To illustrate its immense popularity,
09:51the famous episode in which Lucy gives birth to little Ricky
09:54was seen by about 44 million viewers,
09:58which is almost 74% of all American households with television.
10:12This episode was broadcast on January 19, 1953
10:16and coincided with the royal birth of Lucille Ball.
10:20The remarkable mixture of television and reality
10:22totally eclipsed the possession of Dwight D. Eisenhower for his first term,
10:28which took place the next day and attracted only 29 million viewers.
10:38Number 12.
10:39Attack on Clark Field, eclipsed by...
10:42Attack on Pearl Harbor.
10:44December 7, 1941 will live forever in infamy.
10:48That day, Japanese planes attacked by surprise
10:51the American naval base of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
11:03This assault claimed more than 2,400 lives
11:06and left more than 1,000 people injured,
11:08in addition to causing significant damage to ships and military aircraft.
11:12The shock and devastation of Pearl Harbor were so overwhelming
11:15that many do not know that the next day there was another attack on Clark Field,
11:19an American military base in the Philippines.
11:22The casualties in this attack were comparatively minor,
11:25with 80 dead and 150 injured,
11:28and was buried under the chaos that broke out in Pearl Harbor.
11:40Surprisingly, no official investigation was carried out
11:43about the attack on Clark Field.
11:45Number 11.
11:46The Texas City disaster,
11:48eclipsed by...
11:49Jackie Robinson's debut in the major leagues.
11:52The Texas City disaster of April 16, 1947
11:56is still one of the deadliest industrial accidents
11:59in the history of the United States.
12:07The French flagship ship called S.S. Rancamp,
12:10which carried more than 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate,
12:13unexpectedly detonated,
12:15killing at least 581 people
12:18and leaving more than 5,000 injured.
12:26However, the magnitude of this disaster was largely eclipsed
12:30and was not reported due to the historic debut
12:33in the major baseball leagues of Jackie Robinson the day before.
12:40At the risk of hiring the first black player,
12:42Warren Robinson, he would be held to the highest standards imaginable.
12:46Robinson's eruption as the first African-American player
12:49in the major modern leagues,
12:51dominated the headlines and started wide debates in public opinion.
12:55All this fervor around Robinson breaking the color barrier,
12:58tragically relegated to a background,
13:01the Texas City disaster.
13:03In Texas City today, there are memorials to a time that lingers in memory.
13:08The 3,000-pound anchor of the ship, Rancamp, serves as a daily reminder.
13:13Number 10.
13:14The war against money laundering,
13:16eclipsed by the 11S attacks.
13:19On September 10, 2001,
13:21Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
13:24gave a press conference in which he announced
13:26that the U.S. Department of Defense
13:29had been unable to track $2.3 billion.
13:43Because it's stored on dozens of different technological systems
13:47that are inaccessible or incompatible.
13:50Rumsfeld went against the Pentagon's bureaucracy
13:53and claimed that money laundering could be a matter of life or death.
13:57But this offensive was stopped dry the next day.
14:01Tragically, two hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center
14:05on September 11,
14:07while a third crashed into the Pentagon
14:10and a fourth into a Pennsylvania field.
14:12We saw a lot of things that day that no one should see.
14:17Compared to the thousands of deaths of the 11S,
14:20the $2.3 billion suddenly disappeared
14:23seemed like an intrascending loss.
14:26In the end, the war against money laundering
14:28went into the background of the war against terrorism,
14:31which cost about $5 billion.
14:34Number 9.
14:35The death of Groucho Marx,
14:37eclipsed by the death of Elvis Presley.
14:40The world lost a legend of comedy on August 19, 1977,
14:45when Groucho Marx died at 86 years old.
15:01However, the media went a little overboard with his death,
15:06since Elvis Presley had died of a heart attack three days earlier.
15:19Elvis was only 42 years old,
15:21he was undoubtedly the greatest musical artist in the world,
15:24and his death triggered a huge sadness among fans.
15:27While he had never ceased to be the center of attention,
15:31Marx had become a veteran of comedy and vaudeville,
15:34and as such, he had been out of the show for almost a decade.
15:39Although both left a rich legacy,
15:41the attention of the media focused on the youngest figure,
15:45charismatic and revolutionary.
15:48Number 8.
15:49Beirut terrorist attacks,
15:51eclipsed by the terrorist attacks in Paris.
15:54When ISIS bombed a local refugee camp on November 12, 2015,
15:59Beirut, Lebanon, suffered its most serious terrorist attack since the Lebanese civil war.
16:09With a total of 43 victims,
16:11this tragedy would have been in all the news and on all social networks
16:15if it had not been for another terrorist act committed the next day.
16:19On November 13, ISIS bombed Saint-Denis,
16:22a suburb north of Paris, France,
16:25which left 130 dead and hundreds wounded.
16:29The latter claimed responsibility in revenge for French airstrikes in Syria.
16:33Given the large number of dead victims,
16:36the attacks in Paris made many people forget about those in Beirut.
16:40However, it cannot be denied that they were two incredibly dark days for humanity,
16:45and none should have been ignored.
16:47Number 7.
16:48The Rwandan genocide,
16:50eclipsed by the death of Kurt Cobain.
16:53In 1994, Rwanda experienced one of the most horrible atrocities of the 20th century.
16:58The Rwandan genocide was the mass murder
17:01of hundreds of thousands of members of the Tutsi ethnic minority
17:04and moderate Hutus at the hands of Hutus armed militias.
17:16Despite its rapid and brutal spread throughout the country,
17:19the genocide barely received attention in the United States.
17:22It began on April 7, 1994,
17:26the day before singer Kurt Cobain was found dead at home when he took his own life.
17:38The media coverage was largely dominated by the death of Cobain,
17:42eclipsing the tragedy in the course of Rwanda.
17:45While the genocide took place in a span of three months,
17:48it was eclipsed in the international media by the election of Nelson Mandela,
17:53and later by the murder of O.J. Simpson.
17:56Number 6.
17:57The flight of Harriet Quimby,
17:59eclipsed by the sinking of the Titanic.
18:02In addition to being the first woman in the United States to obtain a pilot's license,
18:06Harriet Quimby was also the first aviator to fly through the Channel.
18:24She took off in Dover, England, on April 16, 1912,
18:29and arrived at her destination in 59 minutes, on a beach in northern France.
18:34But while Quimby was successfully completing her trip,
18:37she could not say the same about the Titanic.
18:39After crashing into an iceberg,
18:41this transatlantic passenger sank in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912,
18:47and claimed more than 1,500 lives.
18:54Shadowed by this catastrophe, Quimby never had so much attention,
18:59and died in a plane crash a couple of months later,
19:03so many consider her an anonymous heroine.
19:11Number 5.
19:12The death of Mother Teresa,
19:14eclipsed by the death of Princess Diana.
19:17Mother Teresa and Diana, Princess of Wales, had a lot in common.
19:24Both were known for their charitable work,
19:26as they helped raise awareness about leprosy and HIV AIDS.
19:30Princess Diana visited Mother Teresa in a New York convent,
19:34in June 1997.
19:36On August 31, just a couple of months after their meeting,
19:40Lady Di, 36, died in a car accident in Paris.
19:54Less than a week after her premature death,
19:57Teresa died due to a heart failure on September 5,
20:01but as public opinion was already assimilating Diana's sudden loss,
20:05Teresa's did not receive so much media attention.
20:08Even so, these two women are still remembered for their dedication and compassion,
20:13which ultimately made the world a better place.
20:16Number 4.
20:17Man who crossed an ocean,
20:20eclipsed by...
20:21Man who stepped on the moon.
20:23John Fairfax became the first man to row alone across an entire ocean,
20:28on a trip that lasted 180 days.
20:40He began his adventure on the Canary Islands,
20:42crossed the Atlantic and arrived in Florida on July 19, 1969.
20:47Unfortunately, it coincided with the day before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
20:52became the first humans to moon.
21:06Maybe Armstrong's small step for man
21:09will eclipse John Fairfax's journey,
21:11but his incredible feat did not go totally unnoticed.
21:15Apollo 11's own crew sent him a message saying,
21:18As explorers, we congratulate you on this great occasion.
21:22But few more were found out.
21:25Number 3.
21:26Farrah Fawcett's death,
21:28eclipsed by...
21:29Michael Jackson's death.
21:39After a battle against cancer,
21:41Farrah Fawcett died on June 25, 2009.
21:44Although the deterioration of his health
21:46was one of the most discussed issues in the news,
21:49in the end, he had to share the lead role with Michael Jackson,
21:52who was declared dead the same day.
22:06Although Fawcett's death caused sadness,
22:09the death of the king of pop dominated popular culture.
22:12His death appeared on all covers,
22:15but Fawcett's was relegated to the last pages
22:18and entertainment sections.
22:20Even worse was the In Memoriam segment
22:23of the Oscars the following year,
22:25which included Jackson but polemically excluded Fawcett.
22:29Number 2.
22:30The end of the 1994 NBA,
22:33eclipsed by...
22:34O.J. Simpson's car chase.
22:37The idea that a great league final is eclipsed
22:40may seem unthinkable,
22:42but that's exactly what happened
22:44during the NBA finals broadcast in 1994.
22:55On June 13, 1994,
22:57O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Graham Simpson,
23:00and her friend Ron Goldman
23:02appeared murdered in Los Angeles,
23:04and the player became the main suspect.
23:07Simpson was going to turn himself in to the police
23:09on Friday, June 17,
23:11but fled in his white Ford Bronco,
23:13which triggered the now infamous low-speed chase.
23:16While CNN, ABC and CBS
23:19covered the events live,
23:21NBC did the same
23:23and interrupted the fifth game
23:25between the Hudson Rockets and the New York Knicks.
23:28Although the game continued to be broadcast
23:30on a split screen,
23:32the most important news was clearly that of O.J.

23:57Number 1. The takeover of Rome.
23:59Eclipsed by...
24:00Operation Overlord.
24:07Operation Overlord is a massive understatement.
24:10Although you have never paid attention
24:12to history class,
24:14you have surely heard of Operation Overlord,
24:16also known as the Day of.
24:18It occurred on June 6, 1944
24:20and began the Normandy invasion,
24:22with the eruption of allied forces
24:24on the French coasts.
24:26However, it was carried out
24:28only a couple of days after the American troops
24:30took Rome on June 4.
24:33The Allied Fifth Army entered the Eternal City
24:35from the South,
24:37acclaimed by cheering multitudes.
24:39However, unlike the Normandy invasion,
24:41this mission was not entirely successful
24:43in the long run,
24:45as it caused the German forces to flee
24:47due to a miscalculation
24:49that later caused Allied casualties.
24:51The Normandy landing, for its part,
24:53remains the largest invasion
24:55on a beach in history,
24:57and that day proved to be an important turning point
24:59in the course of the Second World War.
25:02What other events in history
25:04were totally eclipsed
25:06by something bigger?
