I never knew of the Nixon assasination attempt

I thought maybe I was the only person that never knew about this attemt.

A manic depressant guy from Pennsylvania plotted to hijack a plane and fly it into the Whitehouse. He was going to shoot the pilots after the plane took off and then fly it himself into the target. He darn near pulled it off. If it werent for the stalling stewardess it would have happened.
He killed a guard at the airport them forced his way down the boarding ramp and intered the plane. He threatened the head stewardess then went to the cockpit and told them to take off now. He shot the co-pilot when he said he couldnt leave without clearance. Then the pilot tried to take his gun and ended up getting shot himself but was still alive. The stewardess then acted like the door was hanging up to stall for time and he demanded another stewardess to help close the door. At the last second as the door closed another securty personel had grabbed the gun from the dead security guard and shot him twice thru the door window. As he lay on the floor he shot himself in the head. He was still barely alive when security finally entered the plane. As they are working on him they notice a suitcase that had a bomb in it. One brave policeman grabbed it and ran out on the runway to a safe distance. The catch was that the Secret Service had questioned this guy 4 different times prior to this.
Awesome story!
