Episode summary: One Sunday night in November 1987, something very odd happened in the middle of the nine o’clock news in Chicago. As one television viewer said, it felt like someone threw “a brick through your window.” A television engineer said it felt like “a home invasion.” And a little boy said it was “very, very funny.” Criminal is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
