Boston Marathon bombing

The Boston Marathon bombing took place during the annual Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. Two terrorists, who also happen to be brothers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, planted two homemade pressure cooker bombs, which detonated 14 seconds and 210 yards (190 m) apart at 2:49 pm, near the finish line of the race.

Three people died, hundreds were injured, and seventeen people lost their limbs. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is currently on death row, while his brother died on April 19, 2013.


Oklahoma city bombing

On April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was blown apart by domestic terrorists with the aid of trucks. It was the second deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

The attack was perpetrated by two anti-government extremists and white supremacists named Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The blast occurred at 9:02 am and killed at least 168 people and injured more than 680 others. It destroyed more than one-third of the building and caused an estimated $652 million worth of damage.


Mafia Cops

The Five Families of the American Mafia hired two New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives named Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito. The duo carried out various tasks from the mob, like murders, kidnappings, witness tampering, obstruction of justice, money laundering, and narcotics dealing.

They were convicted in 2006, and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2009. Stephen Caracappa died in 2017 in prison, while Louis Eppolito passed away two years later.
