What's the Weirdest Event of the Last 50 Years?

On Fridays, we ask a series of unrelated questions. Your answers help get us through the afternoon. Answer one, answer all, or ask your own question. On to this week's topics...
1. On The B.S. Report this week, Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman tried to come up with the weirdest historical events of the last 50 years. They didn't get very far: the kidnapping of Patty Hearst? That Catcher in the Rye was linked to both Lennon's murderer and the man who shot Reagan? Flight 370? Let's come up with our own list. March 21, 1964 to present. Go!
2. What word do you always spell wrong?
3. What's your best story about sitting next to someone great (or someone terrible) on an airplane?
4. Your turn. Got a question for the group? Ask it here. Have a great weekend!
