Jul 29 1967. The 1967 USS Forrestal fire was a devastating fire and series of chain-reaction explosions on 29 July 1967 that killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CV-59), after an unusual electrical anomaly discharged a Zuni rocket on the flight deck.
Tallest Living Horse. According to the Guinness World Records 2013 edition, Big Jake is the tallest living horse. This Belgian gelding weighs 2,600 pounds and stands just shy of 6 feet 11 inches tall; thatâs 20 hands, two and three-quarter inches in horse terms.
Clydesdales can also grow that big, in fact Big Jake stole the world record for tallest horse from a Clydesdale by just two and three-quarters inches. According to my handy encylopedia though, Clydesdales are usually around 16.3, so I guess the biggest natural breed would be the Shire of England.
