During Argentina’s quarterfinal victory over England, Diego Maradona scored two goals – his first remains the most scrutinised goal in World Cup history to date. In his own words, he says the goal was scored: “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God.” and that’s how it got its name. Argentina then went on to win the 1986 World Cup against West Germany.

These suitcases of people who were sent to concentration camps are so, so sad to see. Many of these people never left those camps, and those who did had lost everything.

For a short time, the iconic Hollywood Bowl had a fountain in front of the stage. At first, it was built as a reflecting pool in 1953, and in 1959, the fountains were added — designed to create a scenic and elegant backdrop for performances. In 1968, Jimi Hendrix played the Bowl, and fans jumped into the fountain while he played. The fountain was removed in 1972, but to this day, that section of seats is called the Pool Circle/Pool Seats

The TV camera used to film the 1936 Berlin Olympics, which weren't just the first televised Olympics, but the first sports events to be televised. They weren't broadcast the way TV is today; instead, Germany set up a closed-circuit TV system that showed events live in special public viewing rooms around Berlin and Potsdam. About 25 large viewing halls let people watch the competitions on screens, which was a brand-new experience at the time.

In the original pilot for Friends, the show was called Friends Like Us, used a different font for the credits, and used R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People" as the theme song. Friends Like Us was actually what the show was called when the cast auditioned for it and signed on. However, they changed the name to Six of One (and eventually just Friends) to avoid confusion with Ellen DeGeneres' TV sitcom These Friends of Mine, which had premiered earlier that year

This is the title screen for The Marriage, which, in 1954, became the first primetime TV show to air in color  (Wes is still terrified of these "magic boxes with people trapped in them")

There are actually two versions of the 1931 classic film Dracula. One is in English and stars Bela Lugosi, while the other is in Spanish and stars Carlos Villarías. Both movies were filmed simultaneously in essentially two shifts; the English movie was filmed during the day, while the Spanish version was shot at night — filming the same exact scenes that the English film had shot that day.
