[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5281731, member: 12952"] Wrong, it was 95 years ago. The [B]Bath School disaster[/B], also known as the [B]Bath School massacre[/B], was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Kehoe']Andrew Kehoe[/URL] on May 18, 1927, in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Charter_Township,_Michigan']Bath Township, Michigan[/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States']United States[/URL]. The attacks killed 38 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_school']elementary schoolchildren[/URL] and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. Prior to his timed explosives detonating at the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Consolidated_School']Bath Consolidated School[/URL] building, Kehoe had murdered his wife, Nellie Price Kehoe, and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebombing']firebombed[/URL] his farm. As rescuers began working at the school, Kehoe drove up to the schoolyard and detonated [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamite']dynamite[/URL] inside his [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(weaponry)']shrapnel[/URL]-filled truck. The truck explosion killed Kehoe plus four other people, and also injured bystanders. During the rescue and recovery efforts, searchers discovered an additional 500 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(mass)']pounds[/URL] (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotol']pyrotol[/URL] in the south wing of the school that had been set to go off at the same time as the initial explosions in the north wing; Kehoe had apparently intended to destroy the entire school and kill everyone in it.
