Die Hard

Alexander Valterovich Litvinenko, the former Russian secret agent, who had worked for KGB and then FSB (the domestic successor organization to the KGB), fled to Turkey in 1999 and emmigrated to the UK on 11/1/2000. He suddenly fell ill on Nov. 1st, 2006, attributed to the radionuclide polonium-210 and died on Nov. 23rd, 2006.

What a way to go. British Airways is under government investigation now for possible radioactive substance on three of their Boeing 767 airplanes. Mr. Vladimir Putin himself had made the following comment, "It is a pity that tragic events like death have been used for political provocations. Those who did it [concocted the note] are not God, and Mr. Litvinenko is unfortunately not Lazarus."

Being a spy or a drug dealer are probably the worst jobs in the whole world because they generally don't end up quite well. It is not as romantic as what the movie shows. As much as I like James Bond, I don't want to know one in real life or have anything to do with a person of that nature.
