Richard Nixon was the 37th President of the USA. There were attempted assassinations of Nixon. It was involved of an hijacking a commercial jet and flying it into the White House. Samuel Byck (the assassin) shot a police officer forcing his way to an Atlanta airways plane he then shot the pilots when they would not let the plane leave; he had then told a passenger to fly the plane. Police then surrounded the plane. Byck was then wounded, before the police could gain entry Byck committed suicide. However secret service agents were aware of this threat but thought it was harmless. This event had inspired the Niels Mueller film 'The assassination of Richard Nixon'.
