History Today: When New York's iconic Brooklyn Bridge was inaugurated
One of the most iconic bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, was opened to the public on May 24, 1844, thus connecting the cities of New York and Brooklyn for the first time in history. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The bridge has grabbed headlines recently after a Mexican navy ship collided with it, killing two cadets and injuring 22 others read more Pedestrians stroll along the promenade of the Brooklyn Bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York, 1891. File image/AP Remember Shah Rukh Khan's Aman running on the Brooklyn Bridge in the movie 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'? Well, one of New York's most famous architectures, the Brooklyn Bridge opened on May 24, 1883. The bridge is important as it connected the cities of New York and Brooklyn for the first time in history. If you are a history geek who loves to learn about important events from the past, Firstpost Explainers' ongoing series, History Today will be your one-stop destination to explore key events. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On this day in 1844, Samuel FB Morse transmitted the first official telegraph message, marking a pivotal moment in communication history. In 1830, the poem 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' was first published in Poems for Our Children by Sarah Josepha Hale. Here is all that took place on this day across the world on May 24. Inauguration of Brooklyn Bridge Visible in many TV shows and movies, the Brooklyn Bridge is a part of New York's identity. It officially opened on May 24, 1883, over the East River, uniting the cities of New York and Brooklyn for the first time. At the time of its inauguration, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, spanning 1,595.5 feet. The dedication ceremony drew thousands of residents from both Brooklyn and Manhattan Island along with President Chester A Arthur and New York Governor Grover Cleveland presiding over the event. The construction of the bridge, a monumental engineering achievement, began under John A Roebling. Following his untimely accidental death, his son Washington Roebling, assumed the role of chief engineer. Washington later suffered from decompression sickness, which confined him to bed. His wife, Emily Warren Roebling, then took charge, overseeing the day-to-day operations and serving as the crucial link between her husband and the construction crew. Her unwavering dedication was vital to the project's successful completion.

File image/AP And so, on the day of the inauguration, she was honoured with the first carriage ride across the bridge with a rooster in her lap, symbolising victory. An estimated 250,000 people crossed the Brooklyn Bridge within 24 hours since opening, taking advantage of the broad promenade situated above the roadway, a feature specifically designed by John Roebling for pedestrian enjoyment. The bridge's completion was met with widespread acclaim. Dubbed the 'eighth wonder of the world,' it quickly became an iconic symbol of New York City . Its innovative design and impressive scale inspired artists, poets, and engineers alike. The first telegraph message sent Now extinct, telegraphs were an important part of communication in the 19th and 20th centuries. They played a crucial role in the history of communication. 'What hath God wrought,' this was the first message transmitted via a telegraph, by Samuel FB Morse from the US Capitol in Washington, DC, to his associate Alfred Vail at the B&O Railroad's Mount Clare Station in Baltimore, Maryland in 1844. The successful transmission demonstrated the practicality of long-distance electronic communication, leading to the rapid expansion of telegraph lines across the United States and eventually the world. This innovation laid the groundwork for future advancements in communication technologies, including the telephone and the Internet. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Morse's achievement was the culmination of years of experimentation and advocacy. In 1843, he secured $30,000 in federal funding to construct the 38-mile telegraph line between Washington and Baltimore. The project's success not only validated Morse's invention but also showcased the potential of government-supported technological innovation. 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' rhyme was published One Of the most popular English rhymes, 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' was published on this day in 1830. The rhyme first appeared in the 'Poems for Our Children' written by American writer and editor Sarah Josepha Hale. The poem was inspired by an actual incident involving a young girl named Mary Sawyer from Sterling, Massachusetts. In 1815, at the age of nine, Mary rescued a sickly lamb rejected by its mother and raised it as a pet. One day, the lamb followed her to school, causing a commotion among her classmates. This event left a lasting impression on Mary and those around her. The poem gained popularity and became one of the most enduring nursery rhymes in American culture. In 1877, Thomas Edison used 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' as the first audio recording on his newly invented phonograph, further cementing its place in history. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Today, it remains a beloved nursery rhyme, symbolising the innocence of childhood and the bond between humans and animals. This Day, That Year On this day in 2000, Israel ended its 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon. Carl Magee of Oklahoma was granted a US patent for the first coin-controlled parking meter in 1938.

Farah Khan, cook Dilip make Shah Rukh Khan chop onions, ask Kiara Advani to shell peas; here's how the stars' got even. Watch new ad
Mom-to-be Kiara Advani joined Shah Rukh Khan as the duo were directed by director-choreographer Farah Khan for a new commercial. Farah, who is also running a very succesful food vlog with her Insta famous cook Dilip, also coopted him for the commercial. Farah and Dilip had a field day as they made SRK and Kiara do strange chores after the director announces that the brand sells itself and needs no marketing. Directed by Farah Khan herself, the ad opens with the trio on set, ready to shoot a big-budget commercial for Myntra. But Farah made the stars do everything but the work for which they were there. 'Arre aisa offer, iski ad banana ki kya zarurat hai (Why make an ad for an offer like this)?' says the director while she makes Shah Rukh and Kiara do their bidding as they had anyway signed the contract. Farah is joined by her favourite celebrity househelp, Dilip, who is acting as her assistant on the set. See Shah Rukh Khan, Kiara Advani and Farah Khan's ad here: A post shared by KIARA (@kiaraaliaadvani) Shah Rukh Khan is seen tearing up as Farah makes him chop onions while Kiara shells peas. At this, Dilip jokes, 'Sir, Kal Ho Naa Ho ka climax yaad aa gaya.' Not happy with how the onions have been chopped, he returns to SRK and asks him to do a better job, as directed by Farah. Kiara is meanwhile made to play dumb charades with Farah's team on the set. Farah, meanwhile, adds that she is very clear that actors have to do what the director says. She also makes the two stars do a saree ad for 'Dilip ke dost ke papa ki dukaan (saree showroom owned by father of Dilip's friend)'. From cutting onions, playing dumb charades to posing in his trademark step with crew members, SRK and Kiara can be seen doing everything. But at the end of the clip, Farah is also asked to choreograph sangeet of an employee's relative because she too is on the 'contract'. This funny twist made SRK and Kiara sit back with popcorn, enjoying Farah's impromptu dance choreography. Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan recently did another commercial for Dark Fantasy.
