At 7:30 PM on Monday, 8 January 2001, the first successful birth of a cloned animal that is a member of an endangered species occurred, a gaur named Noah at Trans Ova Genetics in Sioux Center Iowa. He was carried and brought successfully to term by a surrogate mother from another more common species, in this case a domestic cow named Bessie. While healthy at birth, Noah died within 48 hours of a common dysentery, likely unrelated to cloning.

I started my first day of work in a real job (just out of college) on September 11th, 2001. Other events on the day however overshadowed the occasion.

Tiger Woods became the first golfer in history to hold all four major championship titles at the same time in 2001.

2001 was the year I was in Transition year. The foot and mouth and all the teachers strikes meant that we missed some school and some of our trips (field trips etc) were cancelled. Though we did get to go to france for our 'exchange' at the end of may.
Sept 11th..my sister had spent the summer in New Jersey and was planning on going to New York that day, didn't make it though (TF!), her friend though was in NY and had actually talked to my sis about visiting the WTC that day. There was a few hours of panic before we got in touch with both of them! The friend had missed her early morning wake up call (hotel had forgotten to ring her) and was having breakfast in a cafe around the corner from the WTC when everything happened.
