History:
The Great Fire of London...what year?

On Sunday morning, the 2nd September 1666, the destruction of medieval London began.
Within 5 days the city which Shakespeare had known was destroyed by fire. An area of one and a half miles by half a mile lay in ashes; 373 acres inside the city walls and 63 acres outside, 87 churches destroyed (including St. Paul's Cathedral) and 13,200 houses. In all this destruction,
it is amazing that only 6 people are definitely known to have been killed. However, it seems likely that the actual death toll was much higher.
In destroying the close packed houses and other buildings it is also likely that the fire finally put an end to the Great Plague that had devastated the city in the previous year - killing 17,440 out of the population of 93,000.

Justin Gatlin, USA, 2006 (via google) but his time has been ratified and is pending disqualification, which would make Asafa Powell the leader (Jamaica) also 2006.
