On this day in history: April 13, 1970 - 56 hours and 205,000 miles from planet Earth, the crew aboard Apollo 13 hears "a pretty loud bang" when oxygen tank number two spontaneously explodes. Astronaut Jack Swigert informs Mission Control in Houston: "Hey, we've got a problem here." Miraculously, the crew manages to return home in their crippled spacecraft.
Born on this day in history: April 13, 1743 - Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) President Thomas Jefferson (1801-9) helped draft the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 1789, George Washington appointed him secretary of state and, in 1796, he was elected vice-president under John Adams. In 1797, Jefferson won the presidency, narrowly beating Aaron Burr.
