How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
February 28th through history
The secret of life, announced in a pub
Francis Crick walked into the Eagle in Bene’t Street, Cambridge, on February 28th 1953 and told the lunchtime drinkers that he and James Watson had found the secret of life. The story comes from Watson; Crick said he had no memory of saying it. That week they built the double helix in metal at the Cavendish, working from Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray photographs of DNA. The paper in Nature ran to about nine hundred words.
A Northern City Line train ran at speed into the blind tunnel beyond the platform at Moorgate on the morning of February 28th 1975. Forty-three people were killed, the worst peacetime accident in the history of the London Underground. No mechanical fault was ever found and no explanation of the driver’s actions was established. An automatic braking system, known to this day as Moorgate protection, was fitted across the network.
Six and a half months after independence, on February 28th 1948, the last British troops left India, the 1st Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry marching through the Gateway of India in Bombay to their ship.
The Guggenheim in Bilbao turned a declining Basque port into a destination and gave planners a phrase for the effect. Its architect, Frank Gehry, was born Frank Goldberg in Toronto on February 28th 1929. Brian Jones, the musician who named the Rolling Stones after a Muddy Waters song, was born in 1942.
Born on February 28th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Frank Gehry and Brian Jones — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish.
Birthstone
Amethyst for February.
Birth flower
Violet (primary), also Primrose — most commonly cited sources agree on violet as the main February flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
