On This Day: Bomb Explodes in Atlanta’s Olympic Park

On July 27, 1996, a bomb killed one and injured 111 visitors at the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. Security guard Richard Jewell was wrongfully accused of planting the bomb and defamed by the media.
The Centennial Park Bombing

Soon after midnight of July 26, a knapsack holding three pipe bombs was left in the Centennial Olympic Park, a gathering place for fans at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. It was one of the least secure Olympic venues, “in effect, the soft underbelly of an otherwise impregnable armor,” described Sports Illustrated’s S.L. Price.
Security guard Richard Jewell noticed the bag was unattended and told Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Tom Davis, who called in a bomb detonation team and ordered security guards to clear the area. Meanwhile, a “white American male with ‘an indistinguishable accent’” had called 911 to report that the bomb would explode in half an hour, reported The New York Times.
Within 20 minutes of its discovery, at 1:20 a.m., the knapsack exploded, shooting shrapnel and nails into the crowd. One woman, 44-year-old Alice S. Hawthorne, was killed and 111 were injured. A Turkish reporter, Melih Uzunyol, also died of a heart attack while racing to cover the explosion.
The Games went on as scheduled, but there would be a series of bomb threats and evacuations. “The fact is,” wrote Price, “the bombing irrevocably changed the tenor of the 1996 Olympics.”
The bombing was captured on amateur video, which is available at Google Video.
The FBI Investigation
For the first three days following the bombing, Jewell was treated like a hero by the media. However, news that the FBI was looking at Jewell as a possible suspect was leaked to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, which ran a story declaring, “‘hero’ guard may have planted bomb.”
The FBI suspected Jewell not because there was any evidence linking him to the bomb, but because he fit “the profile of the lone bomber. This profile generally includes a frustrated white man who is a former police officer, member of the military or police ‘wannabe’ who seeks to become a hero,” wrote Kathy Scruggs and Ron Martz for the Journal and Constitution.
The FBI launched an aggressive investigation, hoping to quickly solve the case and end any fear of a second Olympic attack. Agents searched the home of Jewell’s mother—where he was living at the time—and seized most of their possessions. He gave handprints, hair samples and voice recordings, and took a polygraph test.
They found no evidence to link him with the crime, but continued the case for three months. The bungled investigation and its effect on Jewell was chronicled in great detail by Marie Brenner in a February 1997 piece for Vanity Fair.

Or has US finally gotten it all "Under Control" ..after "9/11" so that we are BRIGHTER/BIGGER/MORE ABLE TO COUNTER TERRORISTS...under our NEW REGIME?
during Olympics to mind. He conveniently left that one out of his list of Bombings...and that he over and over said that USA had witnessed "Bombings at Weddings!" He got it all wrong. It's the "Terrarists" ...first in Iraq and then and now in Afghanistan who have THEIR WEDDINGS and "Peaceful Celebrations Bombed here in America...according to Tweety's Addled Brain. He left out Atlanta Olympic Bombings Twice on his Show.
So...I was "Fact Checking Him!"
