Jan. 15, 1910: Louis Paulhan skims over the Los Angeles harbor in an early demonstration of the potential of air power. 

"A panic was barely averted last night about 6 o'clock when a crowd got wedged in between two moving trains and began to 'mill.' Once started, everybody was pushing. Several men lost their hats and a number of women were badly crushed. Screams and cries rose from between the trains and the conductors pulled frantically at the bell cords. The trains were stopped before anyone was thrown under the car, but the scare was general."
