The 1983 Liberty City School Bus Attacks was a terrorist attack that occured in Liberty City on February 23rd, 1983.

In the early morning. 8 school buses in the Liberty City metropolitian area had bombs placed underneath them, and exploded at the same set time during rush hour 7.30 AM, killing 489 children, 8 school-bus drivers and 9 others in other vehicles close to the explosions.

Reaction
The reactions of this terrorist attack was extensive and shocking and also led to the National Children Protection Act of 1983 that banned school buses in many American cities. School-bus drivers were also required to run checks on school bus bodies every morning and not doing so would result in a $2,000 fine, this law was however ended in 1999. Cameras were also installed in every School Bus yards across the country.

Perpetrator
Heavy investigation was done to find out who was guilty in the terrorist attacks, but little information was gathered as surveillance cameras was still quite a rare measure at the time, however, a camera located outside Francis International Airport picked up a man with fatigued and homeless-looking clothes walking outside and inside a Shoreside Vale school-bus yard at 3 AM at the night before. A bounty on $3 million was sat out on who could gather information that would lead to an eventual arrest, but nothing was ever solved or found.
