The former dictator of Libya had a strange fear of skyscrapers. Confidential information disclosed by WikiLeaks shows that Gaddafi was on the first floor of the hotel when he was on a trip to the United States, and was constantly afraid of staying in the upper floors of the hotel and buildings. Of course, Muammar was also afraid of long flights over the sea, and Libyan officials were always planning to fly as much as possible on the seas, or to come back from the United States part of the route with the ship.
