Centennial Olympic Park bombing

Posted on June 7, 2010 by Johnny

This video was posted in Youtube by logancrawford in May 21, 2007. This video actually is a part of 5 EyeWitness News. The Centennial Olympic Park bombing was a terrorist bombing on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia during the 1996 Summer Olympics. Two people died and 111 people were injured.

This event is very important because this event seems like a warning of torrorism. If the United States took this event more seriously and maintained higher national security, maybe such an event like 9/11 would not had happened. This shows how we should pay more attention for those small events and take it seriously so that we can prevent worse thing to be happened in future. Preventing beforehand is definitely better than fixing afterwards.
