Today in History Today is Thursday, Oct. 13, the 287th day of 2016. There are 79 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 13, 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid during a ceremony in the District of Columbia.
On this date: In 1972, a Uruguayan chartered flight carrying 45 people crashed in the Andes. (Survivors resorted to feeding off the remains of some of the dead in order to stay alive.) In 1999, the Senate rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, with 48 senators voting in favor and 51 against, far short of the 67 needed for ratification. In 2010, rescuers in Chile using a missile-like escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground. One year ago: Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders clashed over U.S. involvement in the Middle East, gun control and economic policy in the first Democratic presidential debate held in Las Vegas, but in a moment of political unity, Sanders leapt to Clinton’s defense on the issue of her controversial email practices as secretary of state.

Savannah Man arrested for creating hoax devices SAVANNAH, Tenn. — Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have arrested and charged a Savannah man accused of creating hoax devices found in his home during a fire investigation. At the request of 24th District Attorney General Matthew Stowe, TBI agents, along with authori-
ties from Tennessee Fire Investigative Services, began investigating this case on Saturday, Oct. 8, shortly after the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department and Hardin County Fire Department responded to a fire at 250 Burnt Church Road in Savannah. Authorities discovered two safes in a bedroom of the home, indicating both contained explosive devices. Special Operations personnel from the Tennessee Highway Patrol responded and determined the safes did not contain explosive devices. During the course of the investigation, agents, working alongside investigators from Hardin County, determined the resident, Joshua Steakley, was the individual responsible for the hoax. TBI agents arrested the 36-year-old Tuesday and charged him with one count of Prohibited Weapons (Hoax Device). Authorities subsequently booked him into the Hardin County Jail on $100,000 bond.
