I am old enough to remember it. I guess I would have been 13. It was a very big deal at the time. Not like 911, but like the Oklahoma city bombing. I think the comparison at the time was really to like Manson. Same kind of crazy person, but able to convince more people. There was a huge story about it in time magazine I remember reading. My general sense is nowadays while it's possible, it's harder to isolate people like that (i.e. cell phones, email), but there are still crazy things like the NXIVM thing. Of course its hard to tell if what's change is not world, because I'm 53 now and not 13. So my sense is now that it's probably easier for someone to get word out that they want out and are afraid. Really the part of article that was interesting to me was the part about the congressman, and the things he did before. That's the kind of thing I can't imagine happening now. I had completely forgotten that there was a congressman that had died.
