    Assuming it’s a one way trip, I’d probably go to the year 1998, Impersonate my dad, Rescue child me from some shit, Win the lottery, Stop 9/11, and then die and leave my younger self with more money and power than he could reasonably cope with.

      That’s quite the plan - sounds like it could be a good movie (I feel like we already have movies like these, but can’t recall any on top of my head).

      Congratulations, you stopped the 9/11, but the terrorists escape and they plan for something even worse:

      9/11 v2002: Nuclear Boogaloo?

      Global UN Patriot Act on Steroids?

      There would be a genocide of Muslins in the US, and perhaps Islamaphobic violence towards people who look “Middle-Eastern” all around the world. Aircraft having an emergency and deviating from flight plan with broken radios? It will get shot down immediately. MH17-like incidents will be commonplace around the world.

      Calling a bomb threat on the plane just before takeoff. That’ll really confuse things but it’ll get the job done.
