The Most Scandalous Moments in Olympic History Revealed!
The 1996 Atlanta Bombing
The 1996 Olympics faced a tragic event that went beyond mere scandal. On the night of July 27, during a concert at Olympic Park, a pipe bomb planted by domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph exploded. This heinous act resulted in one death and injured 111 others.
Eric, later arrested in 2003, was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for this and three other bombings. His actions cast a dark shadow over the Atlanta Games, turning a celebration of athleticism into a horror scene. Rudolph claimed anti-government and anti-abortion sentiments drove his motives, but his reasons could never justify the pain and loss he caused that night.
