Content creator Manny Moroda, known for his real-time historical news feeds on X, is planning to cover significant events from 2002 next year. These include the invasion of Iraq, discussions around WMDs and appeals to the UN, and the DC Beltway sniper attacks. Moroda researches these events manually each day.
“Certainly on the 100 years ago account, next year is the Charles Lindbergh flight across the Atlantic, from New York to Paris. That was a huge event that kicked off commercial aviation as we know it. And then in the 2001 account, next year, 2002, uh, is gearing up for the invasion of Iraq. And there's a lot about WMDs and appeals to the UN.”
“And there's the DC Beltway sniper that's coming in the fall of 2002 as well. And that was a whole other sense of terror that happened for about a month in October 2002.”
