    As a Philly area resident, it always cracks me up when people learn about this. Yup, it’s the only time the US firebombed itself. It’s still a tough topic today, since not all the bodies have been returned.

      Highly doubt thats the only time. Blair Mountain at least.

      Edit: firebombing, specifically, maybe

      This story and Norman Rayford’s murder are probably 1 and 2 on my personal Philly wall of shame. People forget and take things for granted way too easily
