Ninety years ago on Thursday, May 18, 1927, Bath Township experienced the deadliest school massacre in U.S. history when a disgruntled school board member blew up Bath Consolidated School, and then turned his truck into a bomb after people rushed to the scene.
A total of 45 people died from that event including 38 children, two teachers and the school superintendent.
It was a shocking event from multiple perspectives: The number of deaths; the fact the perpetrator was a respected community leader; the meticulous planning that went into the explosions; the gruesome details of the explosions.
