1972. A black panther militant hijacked a Delta airline flight between Detroit and Miami. $1 million was requested for the hostages, which was delivered by FBI agents in swim trunks. Photographs of the money handed over has embarrassed the FBI ever since (dunno why, they did their job)



He lived for decades in an idyllic Portuguese hamlet near a stunning beach with his Portuguese wife and two children, he operated a bbq chicken restaurant, and wasn't caught until age 68, in 2011

    When your underwear is too skanky to be seen in public, send a minion to obtain pristine new swimwear.
    The poor unfortunate freedom fighter had to wait an extra 30 minutes for his million dollars due to the sheer vanity of these fools.

    amazing it took that long to catch him. Pretty smart to have the FBI agents in swim trunks, no way they were hiding anything uh... dangerous.
