1972 Munich Massacre

Published: Oct. 7, 2019, 10:30 a.m.

Coming up on this week\u2019s episode, I will be exploring the 1972 Munich Massacre. On September 5 1972, during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, Palestinian militants, took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage, sparking off a crisis that ended in the death of all Israelis, 5 militants, and one German police officer.

The Munich Massacre was an archetypal Black Swan in that: a) it was a surprise; b) it was a catastrophic event and c) in hindsight, it was entirely preventable. On this week\u2019s episode, I\u2019ll take you through the timeline of events, the mistakes made, and the lessons learned from the Munich Massacre.
