The bombs that never exploded: Columbine uncensored

The bombs that never exploded: Columbine uncensored: The school massacre by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold Two backpacks filled with propane explosives rested in the Columbine cafeteria while 480 students ate. If they had detonated, it would have been the worst attack on American soil. But they failed. The question that obsessed the FBI for years: how did two teenagers smuggle in 99 pipe bombs, firearms, and homemade explosives without being stopped, after public threats a year earlier? In this episode, we explore the more than twelve months of planning that went unnoticed by institutions, the contradiction between the psychological profiles of Harris and Klebold, and the legal loophole that allowed the purchase of weapons through an adult accomplice. The basement tapes were destroyed by the FBI. The surveillance records were never released. What were the authorities trying to hide? Victim: Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold Date: April 20, 1999 Location: Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado Status: Closed (suicides of attackers) - The report against Harris for death threats in 1997 was ignored by the Jefferson County Sheriff. - Robin Anderson, the adult buyer, acquired all the weapons at a gun show with no traceability records. - Professor William Sanders bled to death nearly two hours after the attack while waiting for rescue; the SWAT team entered more than three hours after it began. - The basement tapes contained explicit references to future copycats; the FBI destroyed them before any complete analysis.
