There was a huge concert and at the park with 50,000 people attending when a bomb exploded and killed one. This also resulted in the death of another from a heart attack. 111 people were injured.

George: The woman that was killed was Alice Hawthorne and she was struck in the head by a nail from the shrapnel that the bomb created. The other man was Melih Uzunyol who was a cameraman just there to take pictures and the bomb caused him to have a heart attack. ||

He denied having any involvement all along. Later he was officially exonerated, and the real bomber was caught. ||

Juries in both Atlanta and Birmingham tried Rudolph on 23 counts on November 15, 2000. The Atlanta grand jury indicted Rudolph for the malicious use of an explosive, as well as the use of a destructive device during a crime of violence, and interstate transportation of an explosive. These juries did not hand down murder charges because that crime must be charged in state courts. Unfortunately the Atlanta Olympics will always be remembered for this great tragedy. ||
