The RMS Titanic sank in 1912 with more than 7 million pieces of mail on board- all of which the US would be required to help deliver if it could be recovered! Ernest Vincent Wright's 1939 novel, Gadsby, was entirely written without the use of the letter E! When villagers near Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, India, thought vampires were killing their cattle in early 2012, officials offered a $2,000 cash reward for all vampires!
