The song "One" was U2's third single in 1992. It is on their album called "Achtung Baby." One was released as a benefit song and all proceeds went to AIDS research.
It was a US spy plane to keep surveillance during the Cold War.
In the Cold War the American Airforce used an Airplane called a U-2. It was used as a spy plane and could take photos from extreme heights. They were flown many times over Cuba so the Americans had some idea of what the Soviet Union and Cuba were doing in Cuba at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis that nearly ended the world. On May 1st one of these was shot down and was a great embarrassment to America as they had to admit to their surveillance. The Band U2 got it's name from that aircraft.U2 are named after the US Air Force spy plane (still in operation) that was extensively used during the cold war. In the 1960's Captain Gary Powers was flying one over the Soviet Union when he was shot down and imprisoned.It was the name of an American-made spyplane in the 1950's and 1960's....In U2's early stages, there was a friend that was in a band before themselves. They asked him for some band names, and he gave them 6. They chose U2, because apparently it was the best out of all 6. They said that the name didn't pop out at them, it just started to grow on them over time.Ask Bono!

The U2 incident was where A united States spy plane was shot down over Russia. The pilot was Gary Powers and he was captured by the Russians, who used this to embarass the US.
analysis of the little incident
u2
It pretty much in a one sentence summary set the general rules and goals for the entire continental United States.
Vertigo
One-it went to the top 10 in the US
If you mean the incident where the US U-2 Plane was shot down over USSR, one consequence was that in the 1960 Paris Conference where the leaders met to discuss issues like the Berlin crisis, Khrushchev walked out when Eisenhower wouldn't apologize and talks there were a disaster for Us and USSR relations. :)
The Joshua Tree is U2's number one album in terms of popularity, awards and recognition. It also contains the most U2 songs to have stayed in the UK and US charts, the longest, with Still Haven't Found and With or Without You in the number one spot. This album elevated U2 to super stardom.
