Columbia is notorious for kidnappings, with kidnapping victims often being held for as long as 12 years.
The Columbian military teamed up with musicians to create a song, with the following message in morse code embedded in it:
“Nineteen people rescued. You are next. Don’t lose hope.”
Because many of the kidnapped victims were ex-military, they hoped that they would be able decode the message embedded in the song.
They played the song on the radio for months, reaching millions of people.
