In the summer of 1996, the world's best athletes and spectators from around the world converged on Atlanta for the 26th summer Olympic games. On July 26th, the event would be marred by a pipe bomb that exploded and killed 1 person and injured 111. Security guard Richard Jewel found the bag that the bomb was in and alerted authorities.
