PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) - Forty years ago, on May 13, 1985, the city of Philadelphia dropped a bomb on the Cobbs Creek residence of the MOVE organization. Neighbors on Osage Avenue had complained that the group was living in unsanitary conditions and shouting threats and profanities from a loudspeaker. They refused to leave, despite notices from the city. The bomb ignited a fire that killed 11 people - five of them children - and destroyed 61 homes.
