16 September 1920: The Wall Street Bombing—Forty persons were killed & hundreds wounded—one hundred forty-three seriously—when a horse-drawn wagon exploded during a busy lunch time; the bomb contained an estimated one hundred pounds of dynamite & five hundred pounds of cast-iron, to produce shrapnel; the "American Anarchist Fighters" claimed credit in flyers found near the carnage.
Lest we forget.
