January 14, 1990: A 31-year-old man from the Chicago suburb of Roselle suffered an apparent medical condition that caused him to behave impulsively while on vacation in Trinidad and Tobago. A friend who’d been staying in a Trinidad hotel with the man said he, the friend, was awakened that morning by the man trying to strangle him. They struggled and the man ran off, nude. After this, the man apparently scaled a barbed wire fence, entered the airport, struggled with security guards, and stole a vehicle. He drove the vehicle directly into a British Airways jet with its engines running, then jumped into an engine, killing himself immediately.
