Aftermath of Sterling Hall Bombing

Aftermath of the bombing of Sterling Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus. The view includes three heavily damaged cars that were next to the building at the time of the explosion. Unfortunately, despite an attempt to detonate the bomb when the building was vacant, a physics researcher conducting research unrelated to Army Math Research Center, was killed in the explosion. The sobering impact of Robert Fassnacht's death brought a sudden halt to the violence to which anti-war protesters and police had resorted. |
