Japan's Worst Terror Attack

March 20, 1995. A man walks into a subway car, sets a newspaper-wrapped package on the floor, punctures it with an umbrella, and walks out. Minutes later, hundreds of people start choking, losing their vision, and collapsing. It was the deadliest terrorist attack in Japanese history — carried out by the cult Aum Shinrikyo and its half-blind leader, Shoko Asahara. A man who believed he was Buddha, Jesus, and a messenger of Shiva all at once. His followers weren't outcasts — they were doctors, engineers, chemists, and graduates of Japan's top universities. They synthesized sarin, traveled to Africa looking for Ebola, and were actively preparing to wipe out humanity. This is the full story of Aum Shinrikyo — from a small yoga club to a nerve gas attack in the Tokyo subway ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Support us on Patreon — https://www.patreon.com/c/25_yesterday 🔻 Don't miss previous videos: https://youtu.be/-9zUeVR-LVA https://youtu.be/XUhsO6Pbauw https://youtu.be/W6Snx_FOhhI This video is for educational and entertainment purposes.
