Lyndon B. Johnson 36th president (jan 19, 1908 – apr 22, 1973)
Description:
JFK’s unexpected assassination led to Johnson becoming president, but another factor that made his presidency possible was a fateful trip to the bathroom. Let me explain: While enlisted in the military during WWII, Johnson boarded a plane called the Wabash Cannonball for his one and only bombing mission in the South Pacific. But he had to use the bathroom really badly so he got off and took care of business. By the time he got back, the Wabash Cannonball had left. The plane ended up crashing and everyone on it perished.Added to timeline:
