The whole story of this assassination is so full of bizarre coincidences, fuck ups, and weird circumstances. It would make a great 10 minute scene in "World War 1, The Movie."
Crazy how it completely changed the world. I can't think of any other assassination that changed history as much as his, I could be wrong. Especially it being somewhat modern times.
Funniest part was the first assassin who fucked up throwing the bomb and subsequently failed two suicide attempts because of a bad cyanide pill and trying to drown himself in 6 inches of water only to get beaten by a crowd while puking from old cyanide.
I thought it was that he tried to escape by jumping into the river, but unbeknownst to him/them, the river had dried up due to some crazy drought and he basically landed in thick mud? (I might be remembering it wrong)
The ending is the craziest part. Imagine being prepared to kill a major political figure but one of your co-conspirators fucks up your plot so you go to a café to get a coffee and loath missing your chance when the fucking target literally pulls down the same street as the café and stops right in front of you, twiddling his thumbs, ready for you to put a bullet in him and start the largest war the world had ever seen.
