Wall Street bombing

Okay kiddo, so a long time ago in 1920, there was a big explosion that happened on Wall Street in New York City. It was a very bad thing that happened because a lot of people got hurt and some even died.

Now, you might be wondering why someone would do something like that? Well, some people called it an act of terrorism but nobody really knows who did it for sure. It could have been a group of people who were unhappy with the government or maybe they wanted to scare people in the city.

The explosion was so big that it blew out windows and damaged buildings on the street. There were even bits of shrapnel found miles away from where the explosion happened. It was a really scary time for people who lived in New York City.

The police and the government tried to find the people responsible for the explosion but they never found out who did it. Even today, it remains a mystery.

So that's the story of the Wall Street bombing, a very sad and scary event that happened a long time ago.
