PodCats Discuss: Chowchilla
Manage episode 461460998 series 2990376
This episode hosts just a couple of kitties - Jess and her guest T Bone. We do have to warn you that the kitties were sipping cocktails for HOURS before they got to Chowchilla so words are slurred and there is some confusion. But we did manage to get most of the story out. If none of what we said made sense, here is what the doc was all about:
CNN Films and Max covered what was truly one of the weirdest mass kidnappings in history—the Chowchilla school bus abduction. This documentary featured exclusive interviews from survivors which is what really made it amazing!
Here’s what happened: On July 15, 1976, three masked men hijacked a school bus in Chowchilla, California. They kidnapped the driver and 26 kids, stuffed them into soundproof vans, and took them to a remote quarry, where they were buried alive in an underground chamber. With barely any food or water, air running out, and the roof caving in, one brave child led a daring escape.
When the kidnappers were caught, their identities shocked everyone even more. This chilling event left deep scars on the survivors, who spent decades trying to rebuild their lives.
The doc was directed by Paul Solet.
