The Tokyo Cult Leader Who Killed A Baby And Poisoned 6,500 People
In 1995, a cult released nerve gas into Tokyo's subway system during rush hour. 13 died. 6,500 more were poisoned, with serious injuries.
But here's the thing, you guys. The subway attack wasn't the beginning of this cult at all. It was just the moment they finally got caught.
Aum Shinrikyo had already been experimenting with chemical weapons, building assault rifles, ending critics, and a 14-month-old baby whose only crime was being the son of a lawyer investigating them.
And the terrifying cut? A version of this cult still exists today.
So how did a nearly blind yoga teacher convince thousands of educated people that mass murder could save humanity?
And how close did Japan come to something even worse?
