Terrifying & True | Wall Street Bombing of 1920: America’s Unsolved Financial District Attack

A horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street at lunchtime on September 16, 1920, killing 38 people and injuring many more. Terrifying & True reconstructs the blast outside New York’s financial institutions, the rescue effort, and an investigation that never established who built the bomb. Threatening flyers, anarchist suspects, and a hurried cleanup complicated the search for answers. Behind the attack’s famous location were clerks, messengers, and other workers caught in the street. Who brought the wagon there, and why did the trail to the bomber go cold?

We're telling that story tonight.
