66: The Medieval Catapult Case
Show notes
(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE). On November 24, 2002, a medieval catapult violently hurled willing human beings several stories high and into a net 100 feet away. Those who built the catapult and organized the stunt were inspired by a notorious group of misfits from the 1970s.
This is the story of the Dangerous Sports Club and the 2004 manslaughter trial following the tragic killing of Kostydin "Dino" Yankov.
