The story that I listened to on StoryCorps was StoryCorps 442: Hostage. It was about two different hostage stories with different outcomes. The first was about a plane that was hijacked and everyone who was on it died. The son of the pilot and the daughter of the hijacker were the ones being interviewed. The second story was about a junior in high school who had scizophrenia and pretended to have hostages so the police would shoot him. He survived, but was shot in the face. The police officer who tried to talk him down and the guy himself were the ones being interviewed.
Three follow up questions that I would have asked are:
1) Are you (the police officer) close to the boy? Do you see him regularly?
2) Do you (the son of the pilot) see her (the daughter of the hijacker) regularly? Are you friends with her?
3) Do you (the son of the pilot) feel that the FBI has been doing a better job with mentally ill hijackers since your mother sued them?
