Terrorism. Always with us.

September 16, 1920. Wall Street.  A horse drawn wagon laden with explosives blew up blew up at noon, killing 38 and injuring 143. Believed to be the work of Italian anarchists, it has never been officially solved.  It was the biggest such attack in the country's history. But even at that, it was only ten years following another such act.

That act was the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times by members of an iron workers union.  They were caught and convicted.  The bombs were timed to go off when nobody would have been in the building, but a faulty primer and a late addition of the paper sent the bomb off early, killing 21 and wounding 100.
