A teenager named Charles J. Bishop intentionally crashed a jet into a tower in Tampa, Florida, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The 15-year-old, who had been left alone in the plane by his flight instructor, took off on the unauthorized flight, causing chaos and causing numerous warnings from the Coast Guard and MacDill Air Force Base. Despite these warnings, Bishop chose to disobey the orders and crashed the aircraft into the 42-story Bank of America skyscraper.
Bishop was the only victim of the tragedy, and officers discovered a suicide letter expressing sympathy for Osama Bin Laden during investigations. Tampa Police Chief Bennie Holder described the handwritten message as a suicide note. Bishop released a statement expressing condolences for bin Laden and the events of September 11, 2001, stating that there is no evidence to support his connection with any terror organization.
Recent activity on X by the Morbid Knowledge account has brought attention to the lesser-known tale, with a accompanying video showing the terrifying scene following the collision. The television film shows emergency personnel responding to the scene, with pieces of the downed aircraft scattered across the terrain.
