How Did 7 People Die in the Black Tom Explosion?

Early on a Sunday morning in July of 1916, three men walked onto an unguarded pier in New York Harbor, placed a handful of small copper devices across two million pounds of ammunition, artillery shells, and TNT, and quietly disappeared into the dark. At 2:08 in the morning, the ground shook from Maryland to Connecticut, the sky above Lower Manhattan turned white, shrapnel punched into the Statue of Liberty, and a ten-week-old baby was thrown from his crib. Not from an accident. Not from a structural failure. But from something that had been planned for months inside the highest levels of a foreign government, carried out by three men on a pier with no fence, no lighting, and two watchmen for the entire site. On the morning of July 30th, 1916, Black Tom Island became the largest act of foreign terrorism ever committed on American soil. This is the story of who planned it, how three men pulled it off without breaking a single law, and why it took sixty-three years for anyone in power to officially say what really happened that night.
