In response to the US support of the South Vietnamese government,a faction of the Viet Cong hijacked three commercial airliners to attack the US in 1963.Two crashed into the Empire State Building while the third one crashed into the White House,successfully killing then president John F Kennedy. LBJ,who was not in the White House at the time,succeeded JFK soon afterwards.This faction of the Viet Cong admitted involvement not long afterwards.Although it is now known that this faction of the Viet Cong acted in defiance of Hanoi’s wishes, this was not known/believed by the US until years later. What would have happened if Hanoi was able to better control this faction of the Viet Cong and prevent the 1963 attacks?
