likes thisSo wonderful knowing that a bonehead dropping a wrench cannot end the world, but it sure can set off one hell of an explosion. Of course, this entire story maybe fiction, but it nevertheless is fairly dramatic.
Even the best laid plans can go catastrophically wrong when humans get involved. This week, people bungle simple operations on some of the most dangerous weapons in the world.

Can you believe this narrative of a 9/11, 1976 hijacking with it’s fake bombs, absurd love stories, CIA connections, and unbelievable “coincidences”? 25 years before the far more infamous hijacking??? I don’t think that I can. MAINSTREAM WIKIPEDIA NARRATIVETWA Flight 355 was a domestic Trans World Airlines flight which was hijacked on September 10-12, in 1976 by five “Fighters for Free Croatia”, a group seeking Croatian independence from Yugoslavia.The Boeing 727, TWA 355 took off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport and was headed to O’Hare International Airportin Chicago. The hijackers were Slobodan Vlaši?, Zvonko Buši?, his wife Julienne Buši?,[2] Petar Matani?, and Frane Pešut. The hijackers claimed to have a bomb as they seized control of the plane in the 95th minute of its flight; the alleged bomb on board was actually a pressure cooker.
