In 1996, the Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia, with 197 countries participating in the international event. However, the happy celebrations were broken up by a terrible event. On this date in Centennial Olympic Park, a bomb exploded. The explosion killed Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 other people. A cameraman also died as a result of a heart attack caused by the explosion. Even so, the Olympic Games continued, and those hurt or lost were not forgotten. Eventually, the bomber confessed after he was arrested for bombing a clinic a few years later.
