On Sept. 16, 1920 New York City had its first terror attack and its not well known. This happened at 12 noon where someone drove horse-drawn cart loaded with explosives and detonated it with a timer. 38 people were killed in the attack. Around the explosive metal pellets were attached which damaged the building below. The holes are still evident around 100 years later. There is no plaque denoting the location or the deaths. This happened in Wall Street in NYC. The holes in the building were caused by shrapnel from the bomb.
