They were instructed, along with other students, to stay in the basement while Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth was delivering a sermon. At 10:22 a.m., their world ended. A White supremacy group had placed a bomb in the church hours before the sermon. A massive explosion shook the church to its foundation. The basement room was filled with dust and all the lights went out. Many of the people escape including the children down in the basement, who only suffered minor injuries. It was only minutes later that people realized the death of those four young girls.
