What happened on Saturday December 11, 2004?

Here's what happened on December 11, 2004:

• Viktor Yushchenko Dioxin Poisoning Tests conclusively revealed that Ukrainian opposition presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was deliberately poisoned with a substantial dose of dioxin, a highly toxic chemical compound. This poisoning occurred during a critical period of the Ukrainian presidential election, raising serious questions about political interference and potential assassination attempts.
• Taiwan Legislative Election The Taiwanese legislative election resulted in a significant political realignment, with the opposition pan-blue alliance securing a majority by winning at least 114 out of 225 parliamentary seats. The governing Democratic Progressive Party and its allies retained 101 seats, signaling a competitive and dynamic political landscape.
• Bernard Kerik Nomination Withdrawal Bernard Kerik unexpectedly withdrew his nomination for Secretary of Homeland Security due to complications surrounding his nanny's immigration status. This withdrawal highlighted potential vetting issues in high-level government appointments and raised questions about background checks for sensitive positions.
• Vanuatu Political Upheaval In a dramatic political shift, Serge Vohor was removed as Prime Minister of Vanuatu through a vote of no confidence. His unilateral diplomatic overture to Taiwan, establishing relations without cabinet approval, directly contradicted the government's existing relationship with China and led to his replacement by Ham Lini.
• Jean-Christophe Lafaille's Historic Mountaineering Achievement French mountaineer Jean-Christophe Lafaille accomplished a remarkable feat by completing the first solo winter ascent of Shishapangma, an eight-thousander mountain, via a challenging new route on the South face. This achievement represents an extraordinary milestone in extreme alpine exploration.
• Severe Weather in South Dakota Northeast South Dakota experienced significant weather disruption with high winds reaching approximately 60 mph. The severe conditions caused localized damage, including downed trees and derailed rail cars in Milbank, demonstrating the potential destructive power of extreme weather events.
