Worst school massacre

[Retired96]

The American news media needs to do a little more research before claming that the murders at V/Tech were the worst mass murder in history. They were not even close in body count.
In 1927 a deranged man in Bath Michigan secretly planted over 1000 pounds of explosives at the local Bath Michigan school. He murdered his wife, burned down his farm and detonated the hidden explosives at the school killing 42 students and teachers. He subsequently blew up his truck while talking to the school superintendant killing both of them. His total death count was 45.

People are dead Who cares what the media "claims", and which massacre was worse. Being number one, is the type of media attention these maniacs are looking for

[willowdared]

I think they've called it the worse shooting in the US.

I think 9/11 would stand as worse massacre?

The news that I saw said that it was the most deadly "shooting rampage" in US history.

The media qouted it as a "Shooting", not a mass murder. Afraid you may have mis-read the news? Consider the Oklahoma Bombing, which took some 168 lives. This is considered the deadliest School Shooting.

DIDO...
so to the original poster of this thread... stop being a noob. rather than bringing youre inability to listen to what the media is saying about the event to the table, bring something else. the key word was shooting once again.


the fact of the matter is that 32 people were shot to death.

First time I heard about it was as the "Worst School Massacre" Then it was corrected to the worst shooting. But many talk shows still were saying worst massacre even 2 days later.

News agencies do not like to be told they made a mistake.
