He terrorized people for decades with his homemade bombs that murdered three persons and injured 23 others in several states and cities in the United States. These attacks spanned from 1978 to 1995 targeting Universities, Airlines (including flights in midair) and Computer shops to name a few. As a result of the serial bombing and the targets selected, Law Enforcement nicknamed the domestic terrorist, “The Unabomber”. In 1995, the Unabomber had a manifesto printed in the Washington Post which detailed his hatred and fear of how technology was negatively affecting humanity. A man recognized the language and views in the manifesto as that being similar to that of his recluse brother. In 1996, Ted Kaczynski was arrested and in a trial was convicted to serve a life sentence in a Federal Prison. The former Ivy League educated MAthmatics PRofessor abandoned life in the modern world and live out in a cabin in remote Montana as he crafted his bombs to kill and maim.
On June 10th, 2023, the Unabomber was found dead in his cell at the age of 81. While some agree with his views on the danger of technology and what it has done for humanity as well the planet as a whole. HE was still a ruthless killer.
