Today I learned about James Scott from the state of Illinois in the United States, who sabotaged a dam on the Mississippi River to keep his wife from returning home so he would be free to "celebrate, fish, and have an affair." Scott's sabotage caused flooding of 57 square kilometers of land More than the area of Tel Aviv), followed by Scott and sentenced to life imprisonment for intentionally causing a disaster.
