  This appears to be B-36B 44-92035 which crashed south of Carswell AFB, Texas on November 22, 1950. The Triangle J on the tail was the marking for the 7th Bomb Wing to which the aircraft was assigned.

Fire rages at the Millaquin Distillery, Bundaberg, 1936

  In the early evening of 21 November 1936 the Bundaberg Rum Distillery was struck by lightning. The resulting explosion caused a raging inferno within minutes, as the contents of the rum vats fed the flames. There were 63 vats of rum and spirits each containing 10,000 gallons.[1] This spectacular fire drew a large crowd of spectators and police cordoned off the area due to the intense heat. The glow from the flames could be seen as far away as Childers and Gin Gin. By midnight the flames were brought under control but the building itself was in ruins. The damage was estimated to have been approximately £200,000. No deaths or injuries were reported. The fire also had a devastating effect on the wildlife in the adjacent Burnett River with thousands of dead fish washed up on the river bank including sharks, cod, salmon and barramundi.[2] The general manager of the distillery, which was owned by the Millaquin Sugar Company stated it was "one of the biggest fires in the history of the State".[3] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936_Bundaberg_distillery_fire
