Forgotten History: The 1920 Wall Street bombing
On September 16, 1920, a large bomb planted in a horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street in New York City. It killed 38 people and severely injured hundreds. It was the deadliest terrorist incident in the U.S. until the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 (not counting the Bath school massacre).
The apparent target was the Morgan Bank. The bank building was damaged, but most of the human victims were ordinary workers.
No suspects were ever identified. No one claimed to have carried out the operation. An Italian anarchist alluded to involvement years later.
This was a time when many "-ists" committed acts of violence.
The incident receded into forgotten history.
