The year 1984 was a busy year. Several major historical events happened, cultural staples of the 1980s hit the charts, and we founded Plumbing Concepts. While many of the bands from that time have broken up, and historical figures have passed away or retired away from the limelight. However, at Plumbing Concepts, we’re still going strong to provide plumbing installations for new constructions and quality repairs for homeowners throughout Southern California.
Globally Historical Events of 1984
Several events impacted people around the world in 1984. Sadly, Indira Gandhi, prime minister of India, was assassinated on October 31st by two of her bodyguards.
On a lighter note, the first untethered spacewalk using jet packs occurred with participants from the crew of the space shuttle Challenger on its tenth trip into space. NASA also launched its third shuttle that year, the Discovery.

What Happened in Los Angeles in 1984?
What about Los Angeles in 1984? The city was preparing to be the only American city to twice host the Summer Olympics. It also became the first city with two telephone area codes, forcing locals to learn 10-digit phone numbers to call others in the area. The international terminal at LAX also opened that year, which still serves 30 airlines today.
