Hurricane Erin formed on Sept 9 and was heading straight toward NYC as we approached 9/11. On the day of 9/11 it parked about a hundred miles off the coast of NYC and then changed direction over 270 degrees that afternoon

A US spy plane had engine trouble and was forced to make an emergency landing in China. It was kind of embarrassing and China got kind of pissy but it didn’t turn into an Iran hostage situation either.

Yeah, I think they had a press conference about that on the afternoon of September 10.

And then 20 years later when there was a popular Netflix documentary about the scandal everybody asked "how come I never heard about this?"

Actually a Chinese J8 fighter had a collision with it and they had control issues. The J8 crashed. China kept them for about i week I believe and they demanded the plane be dis assembled and shipped back
