Okay, I did what everyone else did and got a huge list of stuff. But here's a few of the more interesting tidbits:

NOV 24th:

1957 - Denise Crosby is born(actress: Star Trek: The Next Generation, 48 Hrs., Curse of the Pink Panther, Pet Sematary, Red Shoe Diaries 13: Four on the Floor, Deep Impact)

1971 - It was a dark, freezing-cold, rainy Thanksgiving eve when Dan Cooper, now better known as D.B. Cooper, boarded a Northwest Orient airliner in Portland, Oregon. The chain-smoking Cooper, in his mid-forties, wore dark glasses, a dark suit and tie, and white shirt. He carried a black briefcase containing what resembled a bomb, using it to hijack the Boeing 727 plane. Cooper demanded and received $200,000, then parachuted from the plane over the Cascade Mountains in Southwestern Washington, never to be seen again.
