"Kaczynski had used a barometer-triggered device, and it had succeeded only in setting some mailbags on fire and forcing an emergency landing; in a letter written years later, the Unabomber expressed relief that the airline bomb had failed, since its target had been too indiscriminate." Kaczynski sent his next bomb to
6745-435: The president of United Airlines , Percy Wood . Wood received cuts and burns over most of his body. Kaczynski left false clues in most bombs, which he intentionally made hard to find to make them appear more legitimate.

I told you it would—RV," and
6840-440: The principle of "One Nation, Two States". Turkmen language is very close to Turkish with regard to linguistic properties.
