If you're listening to this show in real time...it's August 8th, 2021. The Tokyo Olympic Games have just concluded and every thing in these Covid times have gone as well as they could have gone given the circumstances. However, back in 1996 during the Atlanta Olympic Games...that was not the case. During the early morning hours of July 27, 1996, Richard Jewell a security guard for Centennial Park , noticed a suspicious backpack placed under a bench by the sound tower during a concert for Mack Jack and the Heart Attack. He alerted the GBI and ATF who investigated the backpack and determined it was bomb that was ready to go off at any moment. Richard and the rest of the authorities scrambled to get as many people away from the venue as possible. During the evacuation the pipe bomb exploded injuring 111, directly killing 1, and indirectly killing another. Although there was massive damage and many people were hurt, Richard potentially saved thousands from CERTAIN death due to his watchful eye.....however the FBI and the Media did not see him as the hero of this story. They would paint him as the ACTUAL bomber and survey him and his mother for 88 days until they were able to use actual evidence to clear his name. Listen to how they came to this conclusion and join us for this roller coaster of a story.
