Your favorite stories of people becoming famous in one day

I know of all these people except the Straw Hat guy.

Do people like Mark David Chapman and Lee Harvey Oswald count? Or is that outside the lines because their goal was to get noticed when they woke up that morning? Sad to say, David Hogg is in that boat now. Woke up a high school and ended the day, the face of a “movement.”

Was thinking Chuck yeager. He was just a test pilot and became pretty famous when he broke the sound barrier.

In sports, it’s tough because so many of the underdog athletes got to their special moment trough a lot of hard work. Buster Douglas became a household name, but he had to be thinking there was a chance he could do that when he woke up in japan.

That being said, hard to beat the story of scully.

 

Abraham Zapruder.
Any serial killer or assassin.

 

Sam Nunberg is the leader in the clubhouse.

 

The night watchman who discovered the break-in of the Wayergate.
