The Wall Street Bombing

Thirty eight people died in a bombing on Wall Street in New York City in 1920

September 16 1920

A horse-drawn carriage containing 100 pounds of dynamite and 500 pounds of iron slugs exploded killing 38 people and injuring 400. The crime was never solved but widely blamed on anarchists. By the time of this bombing, over 10,000 suspected socialists or anarchists had been arrested in raids conducted by J. Edgar Hoover’s Bureau of Investigation over a period of 2 years.
