Bailing out on me?

I'm sure it will be okay

#Corn Flakes are the bomb

Looking for a particular event, and for a bonus, I would be impressed with a particular number

Hint 1:

Not so Faust!

Hint 2:

No corn or people were harmed in the making of this riddle. Good thing it was Winter!

Hint 3:

I can think of more productive things to bomb....
