Black Tom Explosion

Sabotage in New York Harbor

I have never heard of this until recently. Never was taught it in school,refered to by blood relatives or referenced in any book movie or song.
I am unsurprised that so many people, after not paying attention to either spelling or the minutiae of American history for most of their lives, find that they are incorrect or simply lacking in knowledge. I was surprised however at the vehemence that some people have displayed when demanding that the universe itself must have been inexplicably altered rather than admit this.
