Marshall Islands : island of Kwajalein


What happened on that island, on Saturday 21st August 1993?

It rained.

nope, have another go

nothing

close,
expand that answer, a little bit

In protest of being put the otherside of the dateline (primarily it was a USA military base and they went with the US day) they decided not to have that Saturday at all. To celebrate this they ran "around the clock" from midnight on the 20th and finished a couple minutes later on the 22nd. lol, I love that

close? How much more correct could I be??

close enough .. actually it's spot on!
the day never happened, it came and went

Living near a time warp can be a disturbing experience. Take the case of the Marshall Islands, a remote Pacific atoll to the west of the International Date Line. The largest island, Kwajalein, is a U.S. Army base with virtually no native inhabitants. At the height of its Cold War activity, Kwajalein adopted the same "day" as the continental United States, thereby propelling the island to the east of the Date Line and retarding it by 24 hours in relation to its neighboring islands.

But in 1993, the regional government reclaimed its prodigal son. The impact on the unfortunate Kwajaleinians was to erase the 21st of August from their calendars -- a Saturday. Bemused residents marked the event with a 2-mile, three-day "Run Around the Clock," starting just before midnight on Friday and ending a few minutes later on Sunday morning.
