Back in the sixties/seventies, the US authorities were afraid that
it could be done on a nuclear powerplant. It seems the designed
the containmenthull of nuclear powerplants to resist such an event.

in other parts of the world, though, so it might happen and I
just don't know about it. Anyone else have any idea?
In between (i.e, no specific destination, but a crash was desired)
...a man tried to hijack and crash a plane here in California
a couple of years ago (IIRC, the flight was from Southern California up to
Northern California). The cockpit crew overpowered
him, and landed safely. IIRC, the criminal venue was in San Francisco, and
the
defense attorney tried to get bail for the client, on
the grounds that he had
been mentally disturbed before, but was now "okay". (Don't recall what
happened.)
