It was on this day in 1985 that police in Philadelphia dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto an occupied home. They were attempting to evict some members of “MOVE”, an all-black back-to-nature commune. Citing health concerns & disorderly conduct (the group would use a bullhorn to broadcast political commentary), the city started the day off by having the fire department spray high-pressure hoses on the building. When the group inside responded with gunfire, the police threw teargas through the windows and started shooting back. (It was later determined that over 10,000 rounds were fired by the police within 2 hours.) After a couple hours of those tactics four pounds of C-4 explosive was quickly constructed into a bomb and used. The explosion caused the house to catch on fire, which quickly spread to neighboring homes. The firefighters were prevented by the police from fighting the fire, and over 60 homes ended up being destroyed. 11 people (five of which were children) died. A commission later stated that “Dropping a bomb on an occupied rowhouse was unconscionable and should have been rejected out of hand“, and the only two survivors from the targeted home (an adult & a 13-year old child) were awarded $1.5 million in damages.
