EP 58: Centennial Olympic Park Bombing

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park Bombing, an absolutely tragic incident in which a pipe bomb was placed at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia during the Summer Olympics that would take the life of one person and injure another 111. This bomb was placed by Eric Rudolph, an American terrorist, who would go on to plant three more bombs over the course of the next two years. Perhaps one of the worst things to come from the Centennial Olympic Bombing though is that the blame would be placed on the wrong man. Jewell would be investigated by the FBI and publicly blamed for the bombing - socially ridiculed and isolated - for several months before the FBI shifted their focus to Rudolph.
