Today, what's behind the lingering fascination with the Unabomber and his dangerous ideas?
Hello, Grace Dent here with news.
I've been cooking up fresh episodes of my podcast Comfort Eating, and they are now ready to be devoured, chock full of chat and brimming with autumn cheer.
Join me as I talk to the likes of Stanley Tucci, Vanessa Feltz, Richard E.
Grant, and Rag and Bowl man about life, love and the grub that has seen them through new episodes every Tuesday.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
On 10 June, Ted Kaczynski, known to the world as the Unabomber, died by suicide in his prison cell in the US state of North Carolina.
Kaczynski, who was 81, terrorized Americans for nearly two decades, sending 16 bombs that caused terrible injuries and killed three people.
And a couple of days ago, I called up one of his victims, a guy called Gary wright, who in 1987 owned a computer store.
And one morning in February drove into the parking lot and saw what looked like debris, pieces of wood stuck together with nails sticking out, sitting on the road.
It was two by fours, so basically four by four piece of wood.
And Gary picked it up and he heard something click.
The next thing he remembers, he was still standing but had been blown backwards nearly 22ft.
It hit me so hard in the chest, it probably just lifted me up and back.
And you're just going, okay, that's a lot of force, right?
And he was badly injured.
So I ended up with about 200 pieces of shrapnel removed from my body.
