49 years ago, April 4 1975, the Red Guerrilla Family bombed the Standard Oil building in San Francisco. It was timed to correspond with a visit by President Ford, who was 3 blocks away when the bomb exploded. The building was evacuated after the RGF sent a warning

The Standard Oil bombing came a week after RGF bombed the FBI office in downtown Berkeley. They continued bombing campaigns throughout the year, targeting the ATF and the Iranian Consulate in San Francisco over the summer, and the Hewlett-Packard lab in Palo Alto in March 1976 https://t.co/o02SnFXw4P
