In the early '70s, the Weather Underground the terror wing of Students for a Democratic Society protested the Vietnam War by bombing government buildings, including the Capitol, the Pentagon, and the State Department. The bombs, however, didn't always hit their intended targets. In 1970, Weathermen Diana Oughton, Terry Robbins, and Ted Gold wanted to "bring the war home" by exploding a nail bomb at an officers' dance at New Jersey's Fort Dix. Instead, the trio obliterated themselves and part of a city block when the bomb accidentally detonated in their Greenwich Village townhouse. The New York Times reported that after the explosion, Robbins's remains were "too mangled to permit identification."
