What if America's first major terrorist attack cost just $400 to pull off? Daniel Torres digs into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that exposed how dangerously unprepared we were for homegrown terrorism. This wasn't just a preview of 9/11: it was a masterclass in exploiting our weaknesses that changed security forever.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• How Ramzi Yousef waltzed into the US with no visa and an Iraqi passport on September 1, 1992

• Why a $400 fertilizer bomb registered 2.4 on the Richter scale and evacuated 50,000 people in pitch darkness

• The specific security gaps that terrorists exploited (and how many still exist today)
