truck driver killed himself when he crashed his light plane on the South Lawn of the

White House. No one else was injured and the Clinton family was not in the White

House at the time. Early on the morning of September 12th, the pilot, Frank

Quarter, stole a plane from a small airfield in Maryland and headed towards

Washington. Witnesses say Quarter entered restricted airspace made a left turn

near the Washington Monument and headed straight for the White House. The plane

struck the South Lawn and slid about 50 feet into the residential quarters of

the building. Secret Service agents saw the plane about 14 seconds before the

crash, but took no action. When asked about Quarters’ motivation for the act

his brother pointed to Matthias Rust, the young German pilot who landed a

plane in Moscow's Red Square. Well, he said hey, check that guy out you know...

Because he was a flyer... Right. A flyer and he made a name for himself and landed in

Red Square. After the crash, a review of the Capital’s aerial defense plan was

ordered.
