Here's the one I find most interesting:
1994 - Frank Eugene Corder crashes a Cessna 150 into the White House's south lawn, striking the West wing and killing himself.
Ironic that a man crashed a plane on the White House grounds almost on Sept. 11, since it was years before 9/11.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |
