Dive bomb attempt in 1974

Movie : THE ASSASSINATION OF RICHARD NIXON

As the title says, the movie is the real story of a guy who tried to kill President Nixon back in 1974. The most interesting part for me is the way he tries to make the assassination:

"In light of this, it is especially ironic that we know so little about the story of Samuel Byck (or“Bicke”, as he is identified in the film) who, in 1974, attempted to hijack an airplane so that he could crash it into the White House and kill Richard Milhouse Nixon." (...)
"Mueller stresses that this is completely true. “The whole plan to dive bomb a plane into the White House is based on fact. The assault on the airplane is taken from news accounts and F.B.I. files—shooting the co-pilot, grabbing the woman hostage, telling her to help fly the plane, releasing her after she pleads for her life, and even the manner in which Sam is shot through the window of the airplane door—all of this is true, pretty much verbatim. The news reports seen and heard at the end of the film are actual clips from CBS and NBC coverage about the hijacking.”
