What are some good anniversaries where the exact time of the event matters?

Most anniversaries are celebrated on the date that the event occurred, but I really like to celebrate them on the exact time that they occurred. For example I knew the time that the Apollo 11 lunar lander touched down on the moon in 1969, so that I could celebrate the recent 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 at the exact moment the lunar lander landed. Are there any other interesting anniversaries where we know the exact time that these events occurred so that we can celebrate them to the minute, rather than just to the day?

    Remembrance Day for sure. "The eleventh month, the eleventh day, and the eleventh hour."

    The two minutes of silence begins precisely at 11am. The exact time WWI ended.
