Plane incident
On January 5, 2002, just four months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a 15-year-old amateur pilot, Charles Bishop, stole a Cessna plane and flew into the Bank of America building in Downtown Tampa. 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.[4] Bishop had been taking prescription medicine for acne called Accutane that may have had the side effect of depression or severe psychosis.[5] 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.[6]
