Bojinka plot
Okay, let's imagine you're playing with your toy airplane and you want it to fly really high in the sky. Now, imagine some bad guys wanted to use real airplanes to hurt a lot of people. That's what happened in the Bojinka Plot.
Some people who didn't like the government wanted to take control of planes in the sky and make them crash into important buildings. They planned to do this by hiding bombs in their shoes and bringing them onto the planes. They wanted to make the planes explode and crash into important buildings, like the White House.
Luckily, some people found out about their plan and were able to stop them before anyone got hurt. In the end, the bad guys were caught and everyone was safe.
It's like when you tell your parents you want to do something bad, and they find out and stop you before you make a mess.
So, the Bojinka Plot was a scary plan to hurt a lot of people by using airplanes, but the good guys were able to stop the bad guys before anyone got hurt.
