General Discussion

Happened in Bath, Michigan in 1927.

A disgruntled former school administrator rigged a dynamite time bomb at the elementary school, and blew up the school while in session. After the detonation, he drove up to the site, confronted the school superintendent, and detonated another bomb in his truck, which killed himself, the superintendent, and three others. He had also murdered his wife the night before.

In all, 45 people were killed, including 38 children. The story was overshadowed by Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight just a few days later, and is mostly forgotten now.
