The Bath School Disaster May 18, 1927. Bath Township, Michigan. Andrew Kehoe was the school treasurer. He'd lost a tax vote and his farm was failing. For months he wired dynamite into the school basement. The blast killed 38 children and 5 adults. Then he drove up and detonated his truck. Still the deadliest school attack in US history.
