The Bath, Michigan school bombing

http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~bauerle/disaster.htm

On May 18, 1927, 45 people, mostly children, were killed and 58 were injured when disgruntled and demented school board member Andrew Kehoe dynamited the new school building in Bath, Michigan out of revenge over his foreclosed farm due in part to the taxes required to pay for the new school.

This is a very well done and researched site.

Kehoe had intended to level the entire school but 400 pounds of dynamite failed to detonate. The major part of the building remained standing.

Just an aside:

There are 2 threads on TFL now titled "VT school shooting..." It was in fact VA not VT.

Either way a tragedy.:(
