Percy Addison Wood Jr. (June 7, 1920 – June 23, 2008)[1] was a United Airlines executive who was notably injured by a bomb sent from Ted Kaczynski. Wood had never met Kaczynski, but Kaczynski was believed to be fascinated with wood, sometimes encasing his bombs in wood, and may have chosen Wood in part for his name. Wood was injured June 10, 1980, in the fourth explosion attributed to the Unabomber, and suffered burns and cuts over much of his body when he opened a package left in the mailbox of his Lake Forest, Illinois, home. Inside the package was a copy of the book Ice Brothers, which had a bomb rigged inside.[2][3]
