What happened on Thursday June 25, 1908?

Here's what happened on June 25, 1908:

• Ford Model T: Revolutionizing Personal Transportation On June 25, 1908, Henry Ford introduced the Model T, a groundbreaking automobile that would fundamentally transform personal transportation and industrial manufacturing. Priced affordably at $850 (later dropping to $260), the Model T made car ownership accessible to middle-class Americans for the first time. Its innovative assembly line production techniques dramatically reduced manufacturing costs and time, setting new standards for industrial efficiency. The Model T was not just a car but a symbol of technological progress and economic democratization, helping to reshape American society and global industrial practices in the early 20th century.
• Tunguska Event: Massive Meteoroid Air Burst On June 25, 1908, a catastrophic astronomical event occurred in the remote Siberian wilderness near the Stony Tunguska River. A massive meteoroid or comet fragment exploded in the atmosphere, creating an immense air burst that devastated approximately 80 million trees across an area of about 830 square miles. The explosion, estimated to be 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, flattened forests in a radial pattern and created seismic shockwaves detected around the world. Despite the enormous destruction, no human casualties were reported due to the event's remote location. This incident remains one of the largest impact events in recorded history and continues to fascinate scientists studying planetary defense and cosmic phenomena.
