5. The Pizza Bomber

When pizza deliveryman Brian Wells was caught after robbing an Erie, Penn., bank in 2003, he told police he’d been coerced by people who’d placed a bomb around his neck. The bomb exploded. Four years after his death, police said Wells had been part of the plot all along.

At an after-work party in 1993, Canadian attorney Garry Hoy was showing a group of visiting law students how unbreakable the windows were in the Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower. He threw himself against one and it held. He did it again, and it gave way. Hoy plunged 24 stories to his death.
