Fickman Airlines Flight 74

Fickman Airlines Flight 74 was a scheduled passenger flight from Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey to Boryspil International Airport in Kiev, Ukraine. On January 11, 2018, the McDonell Douglas MD-80 was hijacked by a Japanese terrorist group called "Rising Lotus" and crashed onto a upcoming bridge in Eugene, Oregon, killing all 47 passengers on-board, although no-one working on the bridge was killed. The crash remains the deadliest attack on the United States since the September 11 attacks. On February 12, Fickman Airlines announced it would be getting new airplanes.

Rising Lotus
Rising Lotus (Japanese: ライジングロータス, Hepburn: Raijingurōtasu) were a Japanese terrorist group/doomsday cult led by Japanese native Chino Masakado that operated in Nagasaki, Japan. Masakado came to the United States on April 4, 2011.

In June 2011, Masakado arrived in Chicago, joining fellow members Yonezawa Haruki and the female, Sawaya Hagino, who had been there since May 2011. Soon after arriving, Masakado and Haruki left for Scottsdale, Arizona, where Masakado began training since at the CRM Airline Training Centre.

In February 2013, they relocated to El Paso, Texas, where they awaited the arrival of the remaining members. One of the members, Yamasaki Hyosuke, arrived on March 3, 2013, with fellow members and brothers Onaga and Akira Haruki from Osaka at El Paso International Airport. They moved into a summer house with Masakado and Haruki.

In June 2015, Masakado purchased a four-inch pocket knife from a Sports Authority store in Boynton Beach, Florida, while Hagino bought a two-piece snap knife set at a Wal-Mart, Hyosuke bought a bottle of pepper spray from a SABRE in Boston, Massachusetts, and Akira Haruki bought a Leatherman Wave multi-tool.
