#4  Many moons ago, I worked (in a very low-level capacity) for an aircraft company That Shall Not Be Named. Many of the guys were Air National Guard, including my boss. The other guys told me a story about the time he bombed a barge.

I googled for this incident, which surely made the paper. It must be the incident described here. Scroll down to "The best story involved Dave."

The way I heard it, though, was that either Dave was not supposed to push the button (but did), or that the button wasn't supposed to be armed (but was). The fuel tank didn't just "break loose".

They did NOT tell me the sequel, about the hijacking and the Cadillac.
