Samuel Byck
Samuel Joseph Byck (January 30, 1930 – February 22, 1974) was a hijacker and attempted assassin. On February 22, 1974 he attempted to hijack a plane flying out of Baltimore/Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport . He intended to crash into the White House in the hopes of killing U.S. President Richard Nixon.
==Early life==
Born to poor Jewish parents in South Philadelphia, Byck dropped out of high school in the ninth grade in order to support his impoverished family. He enlisted in the US Army in 1954, was honorably discharged in 1956, married shortly thereafter, and had four children. In 1972, Byck began to suffer from severe bouts of depression after his wife divorced him and after experiencing many job failures. Due to his depression, he admitted himself to a psychiatric ward where he stayed for two months.
Byck began to harbor the belief that the Nixon administration was conspiring to oppress the poor.
Byck first came to the notice of the Secret Service in 1972, when he threatened Nixon,〔 whom he had resented ever since the Small Business Administration had turned him down for a loan.〔 Byck also had sent tape recordings to various other public figures including scientist Jonas Salk, U.S. Senator Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, and composer Leonard Bernstein; and had tried to join the Black Panthers. However, the Secret Service considered Byck to be harmless, and no action was taken at that time.〔〔
