Cola Cascio:1996年亚特兰大奥运会爆炸案是一起由本土恐怖分子实施的恐怖袭击事件,该事件凸显了美国面临的本土恐怖主义威胁,特别是来自政治和宗教极端主义者的威胁。联邦调查局和媒体最初调查方向错误,而爆炸案制造者随后又策划了针对堕胎诊所和同性恋夜总会的袭击事件,这表明其行动具有政治动机。 本播客将深入探讨这一事件,以及美国国内恐怖主义的根源和影响。通过对爆炸案的分析,以及对受害者的采访,我们将揭示政治和宗教极端主义如何导致暴力行为,以及这些行为对个人和社会造成的长期影响。 Bill Bergman和Angel Cassier:作为Jack Mac and the Heart Attack乐队成员,我们在1996年亚特兰大奥运会期间的演出亲历了爆炸案。尽管奥运会安保措施森严,但爆炸发生时,我们位于舞台上,距离爆炸地点很近。爆炸发生后,现场一片混乱,我们和其他观众一起逃离了现场。这次经历对我们产生了深远的影响,让我们对恐怖主义的危害有了更深刻的认识。我们目睹了爆炸案造成的破坏和混乱,以及它对人们生活的影响。 我们乐队在奥运会上的演出计划被打断,这不仅对我们的职业生涯造成了影响,也让我们对安全和安保措施有了新的思考。我们希望通过分享我们的经历,让更多人了解恐怖主义的危害,并呼吁加强安全措施,防止类似事件再次发生。

On July 27th, 1996, a domestic terrorist bombed the Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta, GA. While the FBI and the media fixated on the wrong man, the bomber planned his next, more overtly political attacks on 2 abortion clinics and a gay nightclub. The bomber would later be identified as a dedicated soldier in the white-supremacist Christian Identity Movement. Through the lens of these 4 bombings, and the victims left to pick up the pieces, Flashpoint explores America's greatest threat, the political and religious radicalization of homegrown terrorists.
