Bomb hits La Guardia baggage area kills at least 11
A blast in the La Guardia Airport baggage area killed at least 11 and injured more than 50. Police say the device was a time bomb with force of 20 to 25 sticks of dynamite. Authorities offered a 50,600 reward and ordered a government aviation security task force. President Ford convened officials at the White House to review the tragedy and report back. Investigators explored multiple leads amid conflicting claims, and two witnesses were detained briefly before release. The blast forced flight cancellations and disruptions for thousands of travelers as the airport reopened later that night.
