Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 was an Eastern Air Lines Douglas DC-9-31, carrying 78 passengers and four crew, operating as a scheduled flight within the United States from Charleston, South Carolina to Chicago, Illinois, with an intermediate stop in Charlotte, North Carolina. On the morning of September 11, 1974, while conducting an instrument approach in dense ground fog into Douglas Municipal Airport (now called Charlotte/Douglas International Airport), Charlotte, North Carolina, the aircraft crashed just short of the runway, killing 72 on board. Thirteen people survived the initial impact, including the co-pilot and one flight attendant. However, three more ultimately died from severe burn injuries. One of the initial survivors died of injuries 29 days after the accident. Among those who died were the father and two older brothers of future American comedian Stephen Colbert; Navy Rear Admiral Charles W. Cummings, acting commandant of the 6th Naval District; three employees of Charleston newspaper The Post and Courier (production manager Lewis Weston, circulation manager Charles McDonald, and mail room supervisor Jack Sanders); television anchorman Wayne Seal of WCIV in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina; and John Merriman, news editor for the CBS Evening News.The accident was investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which released its final report on May 23, 1975. The NTSB concluded that the accident was caused by the flight crew's lack of altitude awareness and poor cockpit discipline.

The Easter Sonata (German: Ostersonate) is a piano sonata in the key of A major, composed by Fanny Mendelssohn. It was lost for 150 years and when found attributed to her brother Felix, before finally being recognized as hers. It premiered in her name on March 8th 2017, played by Sofya Gulyak. It was the second sonata composed by Fanny Mendelssohn in 1829 when she was 23 years old. During her life time most of of her music either remained unpublished or was published in her brothers name. The Easter Sonata was not published, but is mentioned as her work by Mendelssohn in her diary and letters written to her family members in 1829.The manuscript signed "F. Mendelssohn" was found in France in 1970 and the piece was recorded for the first time in 1972, attributed to Felix Mendelssohn. Critics described it as a master piece, noting its particularly "masculine" and "brutal" quality, and the ambition of its complexity. Some musicologists suggested that the piece might be by Fanny Mendelssohn, but the proposal was not seriously considered by most. In 2010 the original manuscript was found, which turned out to be in the handwriting of Fanny Mendelssohn, and later the references to the work in her diaries confirmed that the work was in fact hers. The sonata is based on the Passion of Christ and the second movement contains an "ecclesiastical fugue", the Finale expresses the moment of Christ's death when the curtain of the Temple is rent asunder and ends with a "hymn of hope".

Eastern Anatolia Observatory (Turkish: Doğu Anadolu Gözlemevi, shortly DAG) is proposed ground-based astronomical observatory of Atatürk University in Erzurum, Turkey.The project to establish an observatory in Erzurum is conducted by the Astrophysics Research and Application Center of Atatürk University with the scientific and technical coordination of TÜBİTAK National Observatory and financial support of the Ministry of Development, Government of Erzurum Province, 40 universities and seven observatories in the region. It is the country's biggest project for astronomy, astrophysics and space science.The observatory will be built on a land of 2,500 decares (2.5 km2; 0.97 sq mi) atop Karakaya Hill at 3,170 m (10,400 ft) above sea level within the Konaklı Ski Resort 25 km (16 mi) south of Erzurum. It will host Turkey's first infrared telescope. The telescope with a 4 m (13 ft) mirror diameter will be built in adaptive optics (AO) technology. The request for tender for the design and construction of the rotating hemispherical dome to house the large telescope was won by the Italian company EIE Group Srl in November 2015. The completion of the observatory is scheduled for end 2019.

Eastern Air Lines Flight 45 was a domestic commercial airline flight that suffered a mid-air collision with a USAAF A-26 Invader bomber over northeastern South Carolina on 12 July 1945, forcing an emergency landing in a field by the airliner, and resulting in the crash of the bomber. There was one civilian fatality and two military fatalities.On 12 July 1945, a US Army Air Forces A-26C-35-DT Invader, 44-35553, on a training flight out of Florence Army Air Field, had a mid-air collision with Eastern Air Lines Flight 45 from Washington, D.C. to Columbia, S.C., a DC-3-201C, NC25647, c/n 2235, at ~3100 feet, 11.9 miles WNW of Florence, South Carolina over the community of Lamar, South Carolina, at 1436 hrs. The A-26 vertical fin struck the port wing of the airliner, displacing the engine of the DC-3, which then cut into the fuselage. The A-26 tail sheared off and two of the crew parachuted but only one survived. The crew of the bomber who died were Cpl. Robert B. Clapp and Cpl. Raleigh B. Allbaugh Jr., both of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The surviving crew member's name was not released due to wartime censorship. The DC-3 pilot belly-landed in a cornfield after a 20-to-30-second descent. Only one passenger of the 20 total on board was killed: a two-year-old boy, Stevens Wayne Williams, who suffered head injuries. He died while being transported to a hospital in Florence, South Carolina. His mother, Mrs. A. E. Williams, of Miami, Florida, and two other persons were reported to be very seriously injured and were also taken to the Florence hospital.According to "The State" newspaper on 13 July 1945 (page 1) the public relations office of the Florence Army Air Field last night issued the following statement:"An Eastern Air Lines DC-3, bound for Miami from Washington miraculously escaped destruction at 2:45 this afternoon when its senior pilot, G. D. Davis, of Miami, Fla., brought his crippled ship in for a safe landing after a mid-air collision with a twin-motored military craft." There were three fatalities, two of them military personnel, but except for the masterful handling of his plane by Pilot Davis, it is almost certain that the 17 passengers and three crew members of the airliner would also have perished."Until the next of kin have been notified, names of the casualties have been withheld."The accident occurred approximately ten miles west of Darlington in the community of Syracuse. From eye-witness accounts, including testimony by Davis and N. L. Martindale, co-pilot of the airliner, the two planes collided when in flight at an altitude of approximately 3,000 feet with the airliner letting down preparatory to a landing in Columbia."Mr. Davis said that neither he nor his co-pilot saw the bomber until just before the mid-air crash. Passengers of the plane also failed to see the ship. In the collision the left engine of the airliner was torn off and the fuselage was badly cut just aft of the pilot's cockpit."Despite this damage to his plane, Davis maintained full flight control and brought his ship in for an emergency landing."The bomber, according to witness accounts, plunged to the earth with only one of the three occupants parachuting to safety. Although not seriously injured, the one member of the bomber who parachuted was unable to be questioned this evening."One occupant of the airliner died."^ http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19450712-0^ Associated Press, "Pilot Brings Plane Down In Corn Field" "The Charleston Evening Post", Charleston, South Carolina, Friday 13 July 1945, Volume 51, page one - section A^ Columbia, South Carolina, The State, "Airliner, Army Plane In Mid-Air Collision: Two Soldiers And One Child Killed in Crash", Friday 13 July 1945, No. 19,761, pages 1, 4.

Easterhouse is a suburb of Glasgow about 6 miles (10 km) east of the city centre. It was partially built on land gained from the county of Lanarkshire as part of a boundary expansion of Glasgow before the Second World War. Building began in the mid-1950s by the then local authority, Glasgow Corporation. The goal was to provide better housing for the people of the east end living in sub-standard conditions. The area is on high ground north of the River Clyde and south of the River Kelvin and Campsie Fells. It was built to house over 50,000 people but as of the 2001 census its population was 26,495, of which 96.85% were born in Scotland. 172 people or 0.63% of this population were born outside Scotland, the lowest percentage in the country.In 2011, the population of Easterhouse decreased to 8,923, and only 3.3% of its population were from an ethnic minority.
