On May 24 of 1883
The Brooklyn Bridge first opens for traffic. It was initially designed by German immigrant John Augustus Roebling of Trenton, who died in 1869, shortly after construction began, from an infection caused by an injury at the bridge crushing his toes, with his 32-year-old son Washington Roebling succeeding his father as head of the project. Washington Roebling also suffered a debilitating injury as a result of decompression sickness shortly after ground was broken for the Brooklyn tower foundation in 1870. His wife Emily then took over his on-site supervisory role for the next 11 years until the bridge's opening.

Famed mathematician and Nobel Prize recipient John Forbes Nash, Jr., and his wife Alicia are killed

They had been on their way home to West Windsor from the airport after a visit to Norway, where Nash had received the Abel Prize in mathematics. Nash's life, and his battles with mental illness, were the subject of the book published in 1998 and Academy Award-winning movie released in 2001, both titled A Beautiful Mind.
