Beyond Borders: The 1995 Tokyo Subway Sarin Gas Attack
Manage episode 476120421 series 3388028
In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most alarming acts of domestic terror in modern history: the Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack carried out by Aum Shinrikyo on March 20, 1995. We’ll trace the cult’s origins under Shoko Asahara, explore how disillusioned professionals helped develop nerve agents, and reveal how the morning rush-hour chemical assault shocked Japan and the world. From the planning and preparation of the attack to the decades of legal battles that followed, we’ll examine how this tragedy forced Japan to confront issues of public safety, religious freedom, and emergency preparedness. Tune in for a thoughtful look at what happens when apocalyptic ideologies merge with scientific expertise, and the lasting lessons this event offers us all.
