About this listen
This week on Secret Squirrel Files, Katie and Phoebe explore two terrorism cases that permanently reshaped national security, aviation safety, and America’s understanding of extremism. First, Katie unpacks Operation Bojinka — the terrifying 1995 terror plot that foreshadowed 9/11 and nearly brought down multiple commercial airliners over the Pacific. Then, Phoebe examines the Oklahoma City bombing and the radicalization of Timothy McVeigh, the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history at the time.
The conversation dives into the warning signs investigators uncovered, the failures and vulnerabilities exposed by both attacks, and how these events transformed counterterrorism efforts in the United States. From aviation security protocols to the lasting effects of extremist ideology, this episode explores the real-world consequences of terror plots that still shape our lives today.
⚠️ Listener discretion advised: this episode discusses terrorism, mass casualties, and violence involving children.
