"The prospect of a shoulder-launched missile attack was a major concern of the FAA during the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta."

It happened. Just not in Atlanta.

Indeed it did. At least twice, to my certain knowledge. One incident report *here*, and another *here*.

There were no survivors aboard the crash resulting from the attack described in the first link. The crash reported at the second link resulted in 18 survivors, of whom 10 were then murdered on the ground by the terrorists who launched the missile at the aircraft. Additional details *here*.

Further reports, including passenger names, can be found *here*. Oh, and *here*.
