LITTLETON SCHOOL MASSACRE NOT WORST IN U.S. HISTORY
A massive error is circulating in the media about Tuesday's Colorado school
tragedy: It was not, repeat, not the worst attack on a school in United
States history.

PRESS INTERNATIONAL: "The worst school massacre in U.S. history."]
On May 18, 1927, 45 people were killed, including 38 elementary students,
by a series of dynamite explosions at the Bath Michigan School.
After detonating explosives he planted under the school, "maniac bomber"
Andrew Kehoe, a school board member and treasurer and farmer, blew up his
pickup truck, killing himself and the Bath School superintendent.
"I don't remember hearing any noise, but I remember flying in the air and
seeing things fly between me and the sun," remembers AdaBelle McGonigal,
then 11 and in the fifth grade. "But I don't ever remember falling."
AdaBelle's ear was nearly torn off in the blast that killed 38 of her
classmates. Seven adults also died that day.
Because this happened so long ago, it is something that most reporters
don't know about and have failed to reference in the coverage of the
Littleton, Colorado nightmare.
