[quote]FedEx Flight 705 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 ferrying electronics to San Jose, California, United States, that experienced an attempted hijacking for the purpose of a suicide attack on April 7, 1994. On that day, Auburn Calloway, a FedEx employee facing possible dismissal for lying about his previous flying experience, boarded the scheduled flight with several concealed hammers and a speargun. His plan was to disable the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder before take-off and once airborne he intended to kill the crew using blunt force so their injuries would appear consistent with an accident rather than a hijacking. After taking control he then planned to intentionally crash the aircraft into Federal Express' Memphis headquarters. Ultimately Calloway's goal was to maximize damage to his employer whilst appearing to be killed in an accident while still an employee, making his family eligible for a $2.5 million life insurance policy paid by Federal Express.[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KVjwzVMLoU[/media]
