A few years ago a Fedex pilot planned to commit suicide by crashing a DC10 into Fedex in Memphis.

From the Wikipedia:

Auburn Calloway, a Federal Express employee facing possible dismissal for lying about his reported flight hours, boarded the scheduled flight as a deadheading passenger with a guitar case carrying several hammers and a speargun. He intended to disable the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder before take-off and, once airborne, kill the crew with hammers so their injuries would appear consistent with an accident rather than a hijacking. The speargun would be a last resort. He would then crash the aircraft while just appearing to be an employee killed in an accident. This would make his family eligible for a $2.5 million life insurance policy paid by Federal Express.[1]

He got life twice over. Does that mean he has to wait until his second life is over before he can vote Democrat?

Thanks for posting that. I remember the incident. I didn’t know he was Amish.

Should that matter?

It should never matter... but somehow, it always seems to matter.

“. This would make his family eligible for a $2.5 million life insurance policy paid by Federal Express”

I suppose this means his insurance was canceled.
