The First proven case of sabotage, in the history of commercial aviation, occurred on October 10, 1933 near Chesterton, Indiana when the empennage was blasted from a United Air Lines Boeing 247 with a nitro-glycerine bomb, set off with a timing device. No criminal was ever brought to trial in that case. (The ten people aboard were killed.)
