my first thought would be "must have been an accident"
Mine too.
Hilo would be an odyssey to the ends of the earth for the feared "fundamental Islamic terrorist." Why travel so far when you can buy a much cheaper ticket to Europe? We need to remember, terrorists work within a budget too. Look at the Toyota pickups they drive around in the desert. Even the worst license expired, uninsured Puna truck would be an upgrade for ISIS.
Now, assuming the terrorists have some frequent flyer miles available to travel all the way to General Lyman International Field to reach their ultimate destination, a Walmart in the Pacific Ocean, how many airports would they have to pass through? How many x-ray screenings? Would they try and fly in with the materials to make an explosive device? Or purchase them here, at the hardware store? Or maybe they'll attack ironically, and buy parts at the Hilo Walmart itself? Of course, once they meet the friendly greeter at the entrance "Aloha!" and see the everyday low prices, they might say to themselves, "this place is not as bad as I was persuaded to believe back at the spider hole, as-salamu alaykum!"
