What's your favorite "History is Stranger than Fiction" moment from world history?

RE: What's your favorite "History is Stranger than Fiction" moment from world history?
Here's an 'inverse' one that no one seems to remember, despite it's import:


Southern Airways flight 49 hijacking


Excerpt from Wiki article:

. . . At one point, the hijackers threatened to fly the plane into a nuclear research reactor, the High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory . . .



This hijacking occurred in 1972
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
