On this date in 1920, an act of terrorism occurred in the U. S. that is still unsolved and was, at the time, the most heinous act of terror perpetrated against the U. S. During the height of lunch hour in the heart of New York’s financial district, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the J. P. Morgan building. Moments later, a bomb exploded. Thirty-eight were killed, and four hundred were injured. It seemed to be done in retribution for some political prisoners according to a letter discovered later. To date, this is still unsolved.
