On August 5th of that year bombs exploded at the 28th Street stations of both the BMT and the IRT. The BMT bomb blew the change booth clear across the platform and into the trackbed. The motorman of the oncoming train heard the explosion and stopped within 200 ft...Anarchists supporting Sacco and Vanzetti were blamed |
