THIS DAY IN IRONICLAST HISTORY: DEC 10TH

 
On December 10th 1994, advertising executive Thomas Mosser flipped through mail that had arrived during a business trip. When he opened a parcel, it exploded in his face, all but severing his head from his body, blowing off his fingers and gutting him abdominally.  The letter bomb was packed with razor blades, metal and nails and was designed to not just kill Mosser, but leave him completely unrecognizable.

Mission accomplished, I guess.  The letter from from the notorious Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, who was subsequently arrested at his remote cabin in Lincoln, Montana in 1996 and charged with ten counts of illegally transporting, mailing and using bombs.
