Plane incident

Main article: 2002 Tampa Cessna 172 crash

On January 5, 2002, nearly 5 months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a 15-year-old amateur pilot, Charles Bishop, stole a Cessna plane and flew it into the Bank of America building. While it killed him, there were no other injuries (because the crash was on a Saturday, when few people were in the building). A suicide note found in the wreckage expressed support for Osama bin Laden. Bishop had been taking prescription medicine for acne called Accutane that may have had the side effect of depression or severe psychosis. His family later sued Hoffman-La Roche, the company that makes Accutane, for $70 million; however, an autopsy found no traces of the drug in the teenager's system.
