History Reasoning

In 1879 a new substance was introduced to the U.S to treat morphine addiction. These new substance became known as cocaine. Sigmund Freud used cocaine to cure his addiction to morphine not knowing cocaine would become a drug of mayor use in the future.

Operation Eagle Claw
In 1980 The United States initiated a military operation in Tehran, Iran. The objective was to rescue 52 Americans that were being held hostage in the U.S embassy. A refuling accident of helicopters and a sandstorm caused the mission to be aborted. The miss planing of the mission left 9 deaths and an impossible second attempt of rescue.

Mongooses are little mammals famous for killing cobras. Hawaii had a huge rat plague problem and they decided their solution was to introduce mongooses to Hawaii to eradicate rats. The problem is that rats are night animals while mongooses are daylight animals. Now they are both plagues in Hawaii.
