May 20 - They Had to Trust What They Couldn’t See

from Wait, That's Random: This Day in History · host C.L. Berns

May 20, 2026 — Today is National Rescue Dog Day, which highlights how some of the best decisions don’t feel like big ones at the time.Today we’re looking at moments built on trust and interpretation.From Amelia Earhart’s solo Atlantic flight in 1932, navigating uncertainty in real time, to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, built around belief and interpretation, to the rise of DNA identification in the 1980s, revealing answers that couldn’t be seen directly.Plus, a look at James Stewart, whose understated style made his performances feel grounded and real.It raises a question about how often progress depends on trusting what isn’t fully visible.Anyway… that’s what I ended up finding while working through May 20.
