34. MOVE Bombing

May 13, 1985, saw an armed standoff between police and the black-power group known as MOVE. In a move that caused Philadelphia to become known as the city that bombed itself, the police dropped C-4 bombs onto a house, causing it to go up in flames. Eleven people, including five children, perished in the event, and none of the officers involved faced charges.
