History
Technology changed everyday expectations in 2007. Steve Jobs introduced Apple's iPhone in January as a phone, iPod and internet device controlled through a multitouch screen; customers lined up when it reached US stores on June 29. Amazon followed in November with the $399 Kindle, an electronic reader that downloaded books over a cellular connection without requiring a computer. The last Harry Potter novel went on sale in July, turning a midnight book release into a national event.
The year's gravest news came from campuses and public infrastructure. A student killed 32 people at Virginia Tech on April 16, leading to investigations of emergency warnings, mental-health records and institutional response. On August 1, the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening traffic, killing 13 people and injuring 145. California wildfires in October forced mass evacuations, while the housing downturn and rising mortgage defaults showed that years of easy credit were ending.
In Washington, Nancy Pelosi became the first woman to serve as speaker of the House, and Congress debated the Iraq War troop increase announced by President George W. Bush. The Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl, the Boston Red Sox swept the World Series, and the San Antonio Spurs and Anaheim Ducks won their leagues. The Departed won Best Picture, Beyoncé's Irreplaceable led Billboard's year-end chart, and Time selected Russian president Vladimir Putin as Person of the Year.
California representative Nancy Pelosi was elected speaker as Democrats took control of the House after the 2006 midterms. She became the first woman, first Californian and first Italian American to lead the chamber, succeeding Republican Dennis Hastert.
At Macworld in San Francisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs demonstrated a device combining a mobile phone, widescreen iPod and internet communicator. Its multitouch interface replaced most physical keys; the first models reached US stores on June 29 at $499 and $599.
Read the full storyThe Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29-17 on a rain-soaked field in Miami Gardens. Peyton Manning was named MVP, and Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy became the first Black head coach to win a Super Bowl, defeating a Bears team coached by Lovie Smith.
A student killed two people in a residence hall and, more than two hours later, 30 more in Norris Hall before dying by suicide. The attack wounded dozens and prompted reviews of campus alerts, mental-health information sharing and emergency response.
Read the full storyApple and AT&T began selling the original iPhone at 6 p.m. local time after months of anticipation. The device offered a 3.5-inch multitouch display, Safari web browsing, visual voicemail and 4GB or 8GB storage, but no third-party App Store yet.
Scholastic released the seventh and final novel in J.K. Rowling's original Harry Potter series at 12:01 a.m. US bookstores held midnight parties, and the publisher reported a record 8.3 million copies sold in the United States during the first 24 hours.
Read the full storyThe eight-lane highway bridge over the Mississippi River failed during evening traffic, sending vehicles and about 1,000 feet of deck into the river. Thirteen people died and 145 were injured; investigators later blamed undersized gusset plates compounded by added weight and construction loads.
Read the full storyThe Federal Reserve lowered its federal funds target from 5.25 to 4.75 percent, a larger reduction than many investors expected, as housing weakness and credit-market stress threatened growth. It was the first target-rate cut since 2003 and the start of a rapid easing cycle.
Wind-driven fires spread across Southern California, destroying thousands of structures and forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. San Diego County used Qualcomm Stadium as an evacuation center, and President Bush issued a major disaster declaration for affected counties.
Boston won Game 4 in Denver 4-3 to complete a four-game World Series sweep. Mike Lowell was named series MVP, and the championship was the Red Sox's second in four seasons after the franchise had gone 86 years without a title before 2004.
Amazon launched its $399 electronic reader with more than 90,000 books available and cellular Whispernet downloads that required neither a computer nor a Wi-Fi hotspot. The original model sold out within hours and paired hardware sales with a new self-publishing platform.
Read the full storyThe National Bureau of Economic Research later dated the US recession's peak and beginning to December 2007. Employment, industrial production and household wealth fell as housing losses spread through credit markets; the contraction continued until June 2009.
Former senator George Mitchell released a 409-page report naming dozens of players linked to performance-enhancing drugs and describing failures by clubs, players and league officials. Its recommendations included independent testing administration and better investigation of non-test evidence.
