The Sterling Hall Bombing that occurred on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus on August 24, 1970 was committed by four young people as a protest against the University's research connections with the US military during the Vietnam War. It resulted in the death of a university physics researcher and injuries to three others. ==Overview==
Sterling Hall is a centrally located building on the University of Wisconsin–Madison campus. The bomb, set off at 3:42 am on August 24, 1970, was intended to destroy the Army Mathematics Research Center (AMRC) housed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the building. It caused massive destruction to other parts of the building and nearby buildings as well. It resulted in the death of the researcher Robert Fassnacht, injured three others and caused significant destruction to the physics department and its equipment.〔("The Injured Remember," ) ''Wisconsin State Journal'', August 23, 1971.〕 Neither Fassnacht nor the physics department itself was involved with or employed by the Army Mathematics Research Center. The bombers used a Ford Econoline van stolen from a University of Wisconsin professor of Computer Science. It was filled with close to of ANFO (i.e., ammonium nitrate and fuel oil).〔Wisconsin Historical Museum. (Sterling Hall Bombing Engine Fragment ).〕 Pieces of the van were found on top of an eight-story building three blocks away and 26 nearby buildings were also damaged; however, the targeted AMRC was scarcely damaged.〔(Sterling Hall bombing ), ''Wisconsin State Journal''.〕 Total damage to University of Wisconsin–Madison property was over $2.1 million ($ today) as a result of the bombing.〔("Sterling Hall toll set at $2.1 million," ) ''Wisconsin State Journal'', August 17, 1972.〕 A physics laboratory run by Henry Barschall was destroyed by the bombing; the records of 25 years of his research, measuring nuclear cross-sections under neutron bombardment, were destroyed, there having been no off-site data storage.
