Don't know for sure, but I imagine there was quite a bit of public awareness

The TSA didn't put a paper bag over it and shout "nothing to see here; move
along"?

Huh? Your "B-52" looks like a typo.

As Bill said, a B-25 hit the ESB during WWII - when its pilot tried
a spot of low flying in IMC ...

Yep, that's what it was, thank you. B-25 it should be.

Yes, I have read about that one before. But I don't think
there was ever any suggestion of it having been deliberate.
