Chicago’s Big Moments on September 2 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football News

On September 2, 1945, World War II ended with Japan’s surrender aboard the USS Missouri—peace that Chicagoans celebrated wildly. But this date also holds darker chapters: in 1923, the Tribune broke news of Tokyo’s devastating 7.9 quake, which killed 100,000 mostly from fires. In 1928, Chicago got its first U.S. Marshal patrol wagon—a 12-passenger upgrade for law enforcement. Then in 1979, the Bears stunned fans by beating Green Bay on Soldier Field’s new artificial turf (which lasted just nine years). And in 1995, underdogs Northwestern shocked Notre Dame 17-15—proving history on this day is packed with triumphs and tragedies alike.
