Post by: skwam on July 27, 2013, 05:08:31 pm

July 27, 2013 is the date today.

1996 –
Centennial Olympic Park bombing: in Atlanta, United States, a pipe bomb explodes at Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics. One woman (Alice Hawthorne) is killed, and a cameraman suffers a heart attack fleeing the scene. 111 are injured.



I found this on www.dayinhistory.net

I remember that day,m very upsetting for everyone in the US, and the people all over the world involved in the activities.
