Episode notes

An American airline with 80 people on board safely lands after a small bomb explodes in the cargo hold. The FBI investigates and finds similarities to previous bombs. A pattern emerges, raising concerns about further attacks.

The UNABOM investigation was one of the longest manhunts in American history - it lasted for 18 years starting in 1978. Before the FBI started investigating Ted Kaczynski, they looked into a number of suspects, including a group of friends who loved playing Dungeons & Dragons.
