Description

Memrie Cresswell stood up to tuck in her shirt as a bomb exploded at the Otherside lounge. It saved her life. Time after time luck was the thing that kept Rudolph’s body count from soaring. As he desperately tries to kill more, his bombs evolve.

Memrie Cresswell didn’t want to go out that night in Atlanta, but a friend’s birthday party took her to the Otherside Lounge. She stood up to tuck in her shirt and when a bomb exploded and a four-inch nail shot through her shoulder and out the front of her chest. Investigators told her she would almost certainly be dead had she not stood up the very moment she did. Luck, from the Speedo Boys in Olympic Park to bad timing at other bombings, again and again kept Rudolph’s body count from reaching into the dozens or hundreds. Follow us as we meet more victims – or survivors, as some would prefer to be called. We trace the evolution of his bombs as he tried desperately to kill more.
