23 years ago His Foot Perspiration Was to Blame



28-year-old terrorist Richard Reid aka The Shoe Bomber aka Abdel Rahim aka Abdul Rof attempts to blow up the American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami Boeing 767 by use of PETN explosives hidden in his shoe in Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

The rainy weather along with Reid's foot perspiration caused the fuse to be too damp to ignite.
