The Bath School disaster was a pair of bombings that took place in 1927 at Bath Consolidated School in a small township in Michigan. Andrew Kehoe (55) methodically planned out his attack, spending months placing dynamite and explosives around the school. On May 18 at 9:45 am, they detonated by way of alarm clock. After killing his own wife, Kehoe drove his truck up to the school and fired a rifle at metal debris and additional dynamite hiding in the backseat. He died in this second explosion along with several others. Overall, the bombings killed 44 people—38 of which were schoolchildren—and left 58 injured. A later investigation found other explosives under the south wing that failed to detonate. When the school originally opened in 1922, local taxes were raised as a means to pay for it.
