1993 Storm of the Century

The 1993 Storm of the Century was a devastating cyclonic storm, or nor'easter, that formed over the Gulf of Mexico on March 12, 1993. The cold weather, heavy snowfall, high winds and storm surge that the storm brought affected a very large area; at its height, it stretched from Canada to Honduras. The cyclone moved through the Gulf of Mexico and then through the eastern United States before moving on to eastern Canada. It eventually dissipated in the North Atlantic Ocean on March 15.

2015 Belgrade helicopter crash

On 13 March 2015, a Serbian Army Mil Mi-17 helicopter crashed just short of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport while transporting a five-day-old baby with respiratory problems to a nearby hospital. All seven people onboard, including four crew members, two medical personnel and the baby, were killed. The baby had to be flown from Novi Pazar to Belgrade by helicopter because of a landslide-induced road obstruction. The flight was ordered by Health Minister Zlatibor Lončar and Defence Minister Bratislav Gašić. Due to inclement weather, the helicopter made several circles around the airport and two landing attempts before crashing.
