Right, I remember listening to an episode of Revisionist History about that [1]. Outrageous and shameful.

I'd have to listen to the episode again, but I think the most outrageous and shameful thing about it is that it wasn't actually necessary. The way Gladwell portrays it, they died mostly due to the personal spite of one person.
