2001 failed shoe bomb attempt

In 2001, a man tried to blow up an airplane using a bomb hidden in his shoe. The man went through security at the airport with the bomb in his shoe, but luckily, he was caught before he could do any harm. The bomb could have hurt or even killed people on the plane. After this incident, security at airports got much stricter, and now people have to take off their shoes and go through X-ray machines before they can get on a plane. This helps keep everyone safe!
