Bath School disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the wake of yesterday's tragedy, this event came to mind which happened in 1927 near where I grew up in Michigan.  It too concerned an elementary school - 45 people died, 38 of them school children.  This involved explosives and a flammable substance laid in place by a deranged member of the community.  History provides grim reminders of the potential destructive forces that can be unleashed by seemingly normal human beings.  I wonder if this historical event will be mentioned among the other reports from this most recent event as facts reveal themselves?  Click title for link to article.
