Corder stole a Cessna 150 the night before and departed from Aldino Airport in Maryland while severely intoxicated, which is presumed to have led to his later miscalculation to crash into the South Lawn instead of the White House itself. (12 September 1994)

Thursday 30th of November 1989 (-) — Vorstandssprecher der Deutschen Bank Alfred Herrhausen is killed by a sophisticated roadside bomb placed by the Rote Armee Fraktion. The 7 kg bomb was hidden in a bag on a bicycle parked next to the road that the assassins knew Herrhausen would be traveling in his three-car convoy. The bomb was detonated when Herrhausen's car interrupted a beam of infrared light as it passed the bicycle. The bomb targeted the most vulnerable area of Herrhausen's car – the door where he was sitting – and required split-second timing to overcome the car's special armour plating.
