The bomb was "strategically" dropped between two houses. It was
supposed to explode midair and cause mostly concussion damage. Surprisingly
(to Goode, not to the demolitions experts), it didn't explode midair and
it started a big big fire.
It's inspiring, in a way, to see how Goode raised the bar from that
other great Philadelphia mayor, Frank Rizzo.
