  • The house on 87th St east of the blast were blown sideways off their foundations. It blew the window our of a Quik Trip several miles away. It is a travesty that it took NINE years to put the people who murdered these brave men in jail

  • This woke me up. I lived in Blue Ridge at the time near the stadiums. I live in NYC Manhattan not but wow this brings back memories. I went to the funeral at the football stadium. I remember seeing a stealth fly over. If I recall everything correctly.

  • @goofejuggalo

    I know some people who lived near Center High School whose windows never blew out

  • This was back when 87th and 71 hwy was a great part of town. It is so sad how much things have changed. Can you believe that 95th and James A. Reed used to be a great place to live? Well it was. Everything has changed.

  • I was sleeping when this happened. It woke me up and my parents had to explain this to me. I miss those days. The 80's were great.

  • Whatever happened to those reporters?

  • i remember this when this happened it blew the windows out at my house 25-30 miles away
