    Another one is 9/11. It gave America an excuse to go to war and changed airport security forever.

    Pat Kenny leaves RTÉ,

    Seán O'Rourke gets Pat's radio job,

    Aine Lawlor gets Sean's radio job,

    Claire Byrne gets Aine's radio job,

    David McCullagh gets Pat's television job,

    Nobody knows what happening to Tom Dunne's job,

    But then, the dominos haven't stopped tumbling yet.........

    That fellow that had his fruit stand confiscated at the roadside in Tunisia in 2010.

    3 years later, North Africa is still burning, Egypt has had a coup, Gadaffi dragged off and executed, many thousands dead, and Syria in a proxy civil war played out by the superpowers.

    Just like the domino effect of Sarajevo, except this guy was not an archduke but a nobody selling fruit.

    Hard to say if the German Nationalist movement of the 1920's would have remained splintered or united as it did under Hitler under a different leader.
    I'm sure they would have found some other xenophobe to rally behind. Hitler didn't drag Germany kicking and screaming into WW2 or the holocaust, the Germans were just waiting for someone to lead them down that path. He wasn't alone either, he had a gang of nutjob friends that were just as bad if not worse than he was.

    A peaceful sit in in a park to stop it becoming a mall lead to widespread protest and violent clamp down by police. LA riots, riots in Greece, Paris ghetto riots have all stemmed from police unjustly arresting or attacking/killing someone.
