Chapter 360 The Clone of "College Bomber"
Garcia sent all the information about the female passenger named Cristina. Everyone sat around the big table in the conference room, flipping through the information, looking for Clues.
After finishing her third cup of coffee, Jiejie signaled that she had discovered something, and then she connected to the video call with Garcia.
“Garcia, look this name up, Hyman Washer.
Christina Morrow dated this aerospace engineer once eight years ago, and then she posted on Facebook Wrote it was the worst date she had ever had.”
"Eight years ago?" Jack wondered if he had heard wrongly. Was he so vindictive?
It didn’t take long for Garcia to send a personal information.
“We found out, Hyman Washer, mathematical genius, social idiot, anarchist, resigned and disappeared shortly after the date you mentioned.”
"Sounds like Ted Kaczynski's twin." Rossi frowned.
Others couldn't help but have a strange expression on their faces. Ted Kaczynski was one of the FBI's pillars of shame.
Ted Kaczynski was born in 1942. When he was 12 years old, his IQ test was as high as 167. In 1958, when he was 16 years old, he was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University. After graduating from the undergraduate program, he studied mathematics at the University of Michigan. Graduate degrees and Ph.D.
In 1967, after completing his Ph.D., Kaczynski joined the University of California, Berkeley as an assistant professor, becoming the youngest teaching assistant in the history of this well-known university at that time.
The mathematical community in this country at that time regarded this handsome genius as a rising star who would surely leave a mark in the history of mathematics.
Who would have thought that he would resign from UC less than two years later and then live in seclusion in a deserted place on the outskirts of Lincoln, Montana.
When Kaczynski reappeared in the public eye, he had transformed into the feared "College Bomber". He sent a total of 16 mail bombs from 1978 to 1995, killing Three people were killed and 23 people were injured.
His targets are mainly university science and engineering professors, large business executives and airlines, because he regards these people as the main force driving technological progress.
Kaczynski opposes technological progress, especially robots, genetic technology and computer technology. He believes that machines will take over most important jobs, making humans no longer busy and looking for dangerous other outlets ( Drug addiction, crime, cults, hate groups, etc.).
The progress of genetic technology, from the initial elimination of cancer and genetic diseases to the creation of perfect humans through extensive genetic modification, will turn humans into an artificially designed and manufactured product rather than a natural creation.
He also believes that the further development of computer technology, especially the emergence of AI technology, after being mastered by a few elites, will deprive most people of their freedom and power and become slaves or livestock of artificial intelligence or elites. .
The FBI deployed 500 agents and spent nearly 10 million US dollars. Over a period of 18 years, the FBI mistakenly arrested more than 200 suspects, but failed to find the mysterious bomber.
Until April 24, 1995, Kaczynski sent a letter to multiple media outlets, in which he claimed that if the Washington Post and the New York Times published an article he wrote in full, , he is willing to give up sending bombs.
The Federal Ministry of Justice finally raised the white flag and finally agreed to allow the two most influential newspapers to publish the full text of his paper.
In this paper titled "On Industrial Society and Its Future", with a total of 35,000 words, Kaczynski elaborated on the view that "technological progress will eventually destroy mankind", and aroused widespread concern. Discussion and resonance with countless people.
Even in 2011, Anders Breivik, who massacred 93 people in the Norwegian massacre, was one of Kaczynski's supporters. Before Anders Breivik launched the attack, he published an "attack manifesto" online, most of which was excerpted from Kaczynski's paper.
Not to mention, shortly after Kaczynski published his paper, his brother reported him to the FBI. This genius and madman was finally arrested and is still in prison.
“Well, the biggest difference between Hyman Washer and Ted Kaczynski is that he does not resist technology. On the contrary, he is an admirer of Oppenheimer.”
< br>Garcia pulled up more articles that Hyman Washer had published online.
“Before he disappeared from the public eye, he made a lot of remarks about admiring Oppenheimer.”
Rosie thought thoughtfully, “If so, then what Christina received That text message makes sense. The hacking technology that can control airliners at will is Hyman Washer's 'atomic bomb', and he wants to cause similar mass casualties in this way."
< br>
Emily felt a little numb, "Isn't this a bit too much? He did this, even if he killed more than a hundred passengers on a plane, just to take revenge on a woman who had humiliated him?"
"Not necessarily, maybe Christina was just a trigger for him to evaporate. It took him 8 years to complete his 'atomic bomb', and then he used Christina, who had hurt him, as a test object for him. Sacrifice."
Jack pouted. The more perverts he comes into contact with, the more he can think from a perverted perspective. This is really a sad thing.
“Guys, I think I’m going to take back the word worship and change it to severe obsession. I’ve probably finished reading these remarks of his.
He spent a lot of time analyzing Austria’s How Benheimer transformed from a socially idiotic scientist into a respected great man through his achievements with his superb IQ.”
Garcia then read a long passage about Barabara that Hyman Washer had once said.
“That makes sense.” Hotchner’s calm face finally showed some emotion.
"Vasher also wanted such a conversion, he decided he had had enough humiliation and after spending 8 years perfecting his hacking skills, conducted a test, the crash site of flight Cristina It's his 'nuclear test site.'"
Garcia agreed, "Cristina posted a lot of travel information on Facebook. This flight was because she was going to Phoenix to attend a class reunion."
"If so, Washer should be near here and let the flight crash here because he can see this scene with his own eyes here."
Rhett interfaced, "There are few people nearby and it is easy to hide. It is a perfect testing location."
"Then the problem is coming." Emily said worriedly, "What if this is his atomic bomb testing site?" ', Where is his 'Hiroshima'? "
I don't know if you are interested in some of the background information derived from this. I have tried to summarize it in simple terms. If you don't want to read this, I will leave a keyword next time, and everyone can Baidu it themselves.
