1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, Game summary
The Giants took advantage of a short kick by Carney and Brian Kozlowski's return set them up at their own 47. Brown completed a pass to Sherrard for fourteen yards and Hampton followed with three more significant gains to put the Giants at the 9-yard line with a chance to regain the lead. However, Hampton was stopped for a loss on first-and-goal, and on the next play Brown threw a pass that was intercepted by Shaun Gayle at the 1 and taken the entire length of the field for a Chargers touchdown and a 24–17 lead with the extra point.

Brown then lost a fumble on the next drive, giving the Chargers the ball inside New York territory on the 40-yard line. San Diego forced the Giants to use two of their timeouts by rushing the ball with Hayden four times, and then Carney came out and closed the scoring with a field goal. A failed fourth down conversion was the result of the Giants' subsequent drive and Brown was sacked on the final play.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
The New York metropolitan area had been experiencing a more active than normal storm season as winter approached in December 1995. In the nine days leading up to this particular game, three significant storms had blown through the area. The last of these three was the most severe of the storms, as the area surrounding the Meadowlands received upwards of nine to twelve inches of new snow on top of what had already been sitting on the ground from the previous two.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
Stadium maintenance workers managed to clear out the aisles before the game started so fans were able to get to their seats. Much of the seating areas were still covered in snow, however, and had been sitting exposed to the elements for three days prior to the game. Entering the weekend, wind chills in the area were below freezing and any snow that had been left behind had frozen over. Attendance that day was significantly below full capacity, due in part to the weather and icy conditions and also because of the Giants’ poor play to that point. Just over 50,000 fans showed up for the game.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
To pass the time, some fans began making snowballs and tossing them at each other. More and more fans began joining in the snowball fights and stadium security began to lose control of the situation. Eventually, the snowballs began making their way out of the stands and onto the field of play, which made an already dangerous situation significantly worse as the safety of the players and coaches of both teams was in jeopardy due to the frozen projectiles coming from the crowd.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
In all, ten of the stadium's security guards were injured, fourteen fans were arrested, and 175 were removed from the stadium. Chargers equipment manager Sid Brooks was struck in the head by a snowball, and the coach holding Giants' head coach Dan Reeves' headset wire ran and took cover after nearly getting struck.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
Things got so out of control that Chargers players did not bother to take their helmets off once they reached the sideline for concern that they might be struck in their heads. Referee Ron Blum finally decided to take matters into his own hands early in the fourth quarter and called for public address announcer Bob Sheppard to announce that if the fans did not stop throwing snowballs onto the field, the game would be called off and the Chargers would win by forfeit.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
The snowballs kept flying, especially as Gayle returned his interception for the winning touchdown, but the game was played to its conclusion. Reeves, in his postgame interview, said that he would have been fine with the forfeit saying that the fans who were throwing snowballs had no respect for other people. Giants owner Wellington Mara agreed. The team would later purchase a full-page advertisement in the local San Diego newspapers apologizing for the incident, and the league decided not to pursue discipline against them.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
During the game, an Associated Press photographer snapped a photo of a man in a brown coat throwing a snowball. The Giants and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority asked for assistance in identifying him, offering a reward, and after fifteen people notified the team that they knew the man, New Jersey State Police arrested Jeffrey Lange, a 26-year-old man from Readington, New Jersey on December 27.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, The conditions
Facing a judge on January 3, 1996, Lange pleaded innocent to charges of improper behavior and claimed he was being scapegoated for the entire incident and the unwelcome publicity had cost him his job. Lange was eventually convicted in April 1996 in East Rutherford municipal court and received a fine, which he appealed. The Bergen County Superior Court affirmed the verdict in August 1996.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, Aftermath
The Giants-Chargers game was one of two to take place at Giants Stadium that weekend, with the New York Jets playing host to the New Orleans Saints in their season finale the following day. There were no further snow throwing incidents that weekend as the remaining snow was cleared from the stands before kickoff. (The Jets, like the Giants, failed to record the victory at home as the Saints defeated them 12-0 for their thirteenth loss of the season.)


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, Aftermath
The Chargers' win resulted in the team advancing to the playoffs as the highest seeded Wild Card team, and they earned a home game in the playoffs. They were defeated by the Indianapolis Colts, however, and did not return to the postseason afterward until 2004.


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, Aftermath
The Giants’ 5-11 finish was their worst since Bill Parcells’ rookie year as coach in 1983, when they went 3-12-1. The team decided, in spite of their regression from the prior season when they went 9-7 and barely missed the playoffs, to retain the services of Dan Reeves as head coach for 1996 (he would be fired following that season after recording a 6–10 record).


1995 San Diego Chargers vs. New York Giants game, Aftermath
Rodney Culver's touchdown was his third rushing touchdown of the season and the last of his NFL career. On May 11, 1996, Culver was aboard ValuJet Flight 592 when it crashed into the Florida Everglades following a fire in the cabin killing everyone on the aircraft.

The 49ers, who were almost 10-point favorites in the game, were upset by the visiting Green Bay Packers.

The 49ers had 4 turnovers in the game. This was the final game for 49ers wide receiver John Taylor.

The 1995 San Marino Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 30 April 1995 at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola. It was the third race of the 1995 Formula One season.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix
Following the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna at Imola the previous year, the track was heavily modified for 1995. New chicanes were built at Tamburello and Villeneuve corners, Acque Minerali chicane was removed and replaced by a right-hand corner, Rivazza was eased and the final corner became a single chicane, rather than the 5th-gear sweep previously.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix
Williams-Renault driver Damon Hill scored an emotional victory at the track at which his teammate Senna died a year earlier, while the Ferraris of Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger finished second and third respectively. Despite being teammates from 1993 to 1997, this was the only occasion Alesi and Berger shared a podium racing for the same team.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
Michael Schumacher secured pole position with his time on Friday, in an exciting qualifying session. David Coulthard had looked to have set the fastest time on Friday but it only lasted for a few seconds before it was snatched back by Schumacher. Moments later Gerhard Berger - who was on a stupendously fast lap in his Ferrari - screamed towards the start-finish line and looked set to send the local Ferrari fans into raptures. Berger came agonisingly close to securing pole position and a mere 0.008 seconds separated the Austrian's Ferrari from Schumacher's Benetton.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
Berger's performance guaranteed massive crowds for the rest of the weekend but on Saturday the weather was hotter and the track a lot slower. None of the fast men improved. Nigel Mansell, making his return to F1 with McLaren, qualified ninth, three places down on teammate Häkkinen.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
Before the race, all the drivers participated in a one-minute silence in the memory of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna who had died a year earlier at the same track.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
The weather took a turn on race day and Sunday morning was greeted with steady rain but the rain did not deter the fans and the hillsides of Imola were packed with the joyful Ferrari fans from dawn onwards. As the grid lined up teams had to decide whether to race on slick tyres or on wets. Six drivers chose wet tyres: the first five on the grid and Rubens Barrichello in 10th place. By the end of the first lap the men on wet tyres were lying 1-2-3-4-5-6 and everyone else was waiting for the track to dry.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
The drivers on wets gained about five seconds a lap on their rivals. Then they started coming in. Schumacher's race lasted only half a lap after his pit stop because, on the way up to the top of the circuit, the Benetton snapped suddenly to the right and hit the wall hard. It looked like a driver of a very sensitive car making a mistake on slicks in damp conditions, but Schumacher said it was a car problem.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
With Schumacher out of the way Berger led Hill, Coulthard and Alesi. The latter pair put on a good show, ducking and weaving as they dived through the backmarkers.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
The fight became more significant when Berger's Ferrari stalled during his next pit stop. This left Hill in the lead with Coulthard and Alesi on his tail. During the exciting pit stop sequence Coulthard and Alesi brushed but the Williams team did not spot a damaged front wing. An over-eager Coulthard exceeded the speed-limit when exiting the pits, resulting in the Williams driver receiving a 10-second penalty.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
Unfortunately for Coulthard the rules meant that the Williams team would be unable to change his now obviously damaged front wing when he returned to the pits to serve his penalty and so had to make a third trip to the pits to replace his damaged front wing, by which time his race was ruined. There was nearly disaster for Hill when a refuelling hose stuck during his final pit stop but he managed to get out ahead of Alesi.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
In the midfield the returning Mansell collided with Eddie Irvine in the Jordan and both had to pit. The race ended up being 1992 champion Mansell's last race finish.


1995 San Marino Grand Prix, Race report
Hill won, with Alesi and Berger coming second and third. Coulthard was fourth and Häkkinen fifth, the McLaren a lap down, while Heinz-Harald Frentzen gave Sauber another unexpected point by finishing sixth. The Ferrari fans and the team itself were left asking what might have been had Berger not stalled in the pits while he was involved in a titanic struggle with Hill.

All 33 seats in the City Council were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain.


1995 Seville City Council election, Electoral system
The City Council of Seville (Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Sevilla) was the top-tier administrative and governing body of the municipality of Seville, composed of the mayor, the government council and the elected plenary assembly. Elections to the local councils in Spain were fixed for the fourth Sunday of May every four years.


1995 Seville City Council election, Electoral system
Voting for the local assembly was on the basis of universal suffrage, which comprised all nationals over eighteen, registered in the municipality of Seville and in full enjoyment of their political rights, as well as resident non-nationals whose country of origin allowed Spanish nationals to vote in their own elections by virtue of a treaty. Local councillors were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each local council. Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale:

The mayor was indirectly elected by the plenary assembly. A legal clause required that mayoral candidates earned the vote of an absolute majority of councillors, or else the candidate of the most-voted party in the assembly was to be automatically appointed to the post. In the event of a tie, the appointee would be determined by lot.


1995 Seville City Council election, Electoral system
The electoral law allowed for parties and federations registered in the interior ministry, coalitions and groupings of electors to present lists of candidates. Parties and federations intending to form a coalition ahead of an election were required to inform the relevant Electoral Commission within ten days of the election call, whereas groupings of electors needed to secure the signature of a determined amount of the electors registered in the municipality for which they were seeking election, disallowing electors from signing for more than one list of candidates. For the case of Seville, as its population was between 300,001 and 1,000,000, at least 5,000 signatures were required.

The 1995 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 14 May 1995 at the Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona. It was the fourth race of the 1995 Formula One season.

This allowed Herbert to finish second, his best finish to date and his first ever podium finish. Barrichello had a similar problem losing sixth to Panis – both incidents were unseen by the TV coverage.


1995 Spanish local elections
The 1995 Spanish local elections were held on Sunday, 28 May 1995, to elect all 65,869 councillors in the 8,067 municipalities of Spain and all 1,034 seats in 38 provincial deputations. The elections were held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities, as well as local elections in the three foral deputations of the Basque Country and the ten island councils in the Balearic and Canary Islands.


1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
Municipalities in Spain were local corporations with independent legal personality. They had a governing body, the municipal council or corporation, composed of a mayor, deputy mayors and a plenary assembly of councillors. Voting for the local assemblies was on the basis of universal suffrage, with all nationals over eighteen, registered in the corresponding municipality and in full enjoyment of all political rights entitled to vote. The mayor was in turn elected by the plenary assembly, with a legal clause providing for the candidate of the most-voted party to be automatically elected to the post in the event no other candidate was to gather an absolute majority of votes.


1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
Local councillors were elected using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation, with an electoral threshold of five percent of valid votes—which included blank ballots—being applied in each local council. Councillors were allocated to municipal councils based on the following scale:


1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
Councillors of municipalities with populations between 100 and 250 inhabitants were elected under an open list partial block voting, with electors voting for individual candidates instead of parties and for up to four candidates. Additionally, municipalities below 100 inhabitants, as well as those whose geographical location or the best management of municipal interests or other circumstances made it advisable, were to be organized through the open council system (Spanish: régimen de concejo abierto), in which voters would directly elect the local major.


1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
The electoral law provided that parties, federations, coalitions and groupings of electors were allowed to present lists of candidates.

1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
Provincial deputations were the governing bodies of provinces in Spain, having an administration role of municipal activities and composed of a provincial president, an administrative body, and a plenary. Basque provinces had foral deputations instead—called Juntas Generales—, whereas deputations for single-province autonomous communities were abolished: their functions transferred to the corresponding regional parliaments. For insular provinces, such as the Balearic and Canary Islands, deputations were replaced by island councils in each of the islands or group of islands. For Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza–Formentera this figure was referred to in Spanish as consejo insular (Catalan: consell insular), whereas for Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, El Hierro, Lanzarote and La Palma its name was cabildo insular.


1995 Spanish local elections, Electoral system
Most deputations were indirectly elected by local councillors from municipalities in each judicial district. Seats were allocated to provincial deputations based on the following scale:

Pathirana and Wing Commander Kamal Welgama who made up the crash investigation team. On the morning of 29 April 1995 the flight reached Palaly and began its approach to land when it crashed into the sea killing all on board. The last communication was when Wing Commander Goonatilake radioed "A missile is coming on my way". This gave the SLAF the first indication that the LTTE had acquired and had started using MANPADS against their air craft with CR835 becoming the first victim and CR834 a second.

The No. 5 "Jet" Squadron responded with an attack sortie by two of its F-7 Skybolts led by its commanding officer, Squadron Leader Harsha Abeywickrama and his wing man Flying Officer Janaka Wijetilleke on LTTE targets in front lines which ensured SLAF air operations over LTTE controlled areas would continue even with the SAM threat. In the long run SLAF would lose several more aircraft and was forced to retire its fleet of SIAI Marchetti SF.260 and FMA IA 58 Pucará counter-insurgency aircraft replacing them with IAI Kfirs.
