From Jon: Hey As'ad, Re: Harding bombing miners... The US attacked its own people from
air more recently in at least two other cases, i) Attica, 1971: the
prison assault began with an Army helicopter
dropping gas into the courtyard... Wiki: The New York State Special Commission on Attica wrote, "With the exception of Indian massacres in the late 19th century, the State Police assault which ended the four-day prison uprising was the bloodiest one-day encounter between Americans since the Civil War." ii) In 1985, Philly police ended a siege on MOVE by bombing them with plastic explosives dropped from a helicopter, burning 11 people to death, including five children, along with the entire city block (65 homes). There are probably others that are just as instructive, too, eh?"
