Over 19 days in March of 2018, five package bombs were mysteriously placed or mailed to random locations in and around Austin, Texas — killing two people and seriously injuring another five. During these mysterious, terrifying attacks, hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world would descend on the city for the annual South by Southwest festival, prompting as many federal law enforcement to respond to these bombings as did during the Boston Marathon attacks. On the front lines of it all is the Austin Bomb Squad, who has never experienced anything quite like this in their department’s history. This is the thrilling, true story of the 19 days of terror that settled over one of the fastest growing cities in the world at one of its busiest times told by the law enforcement, victims, journalists, and residents who witnessed it.

Introducing... Witnessed: 19 Days
On March 2, 2018, an anonymous and deadly package bomb detonated on the doorstep of a home in Austin, Texas.
Then, another was discovered, and another. Each one a little more sophisticated than the last, and each target seemingly more and more random, igniting confusion and fear across the city.
With just days before hundreds of thousands of people would arrive for the South by Southwest Festival, and no leads, the city’s bomb squad faced a challenge unlike anything else in their department’s history.
This is the thrilling, true story of the 19 days of terror that settled over one of the fastest growing cities in the world at one of its busiest times told by the law enforcement, victims, journalists, and residents who witnessed it.
From Campside Media, Pegalo Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment, this is Season 6 of Witnessed: 19 Days
