Untitled (First Responders Clear Debris and Bodies)

The cleanup of Osage Avenue

This photo was taken the day after the bombing. After the fire was put out, first responders arrived on the scene to clean up the damage. Included in that cleanup was taking away the remains of eleven MOVE members who died; five of the dead were children. There was some initial controversy about how the bodies were being cared for and handled, as some alleged that the city used construction equipment to remove bodies from the rubble.
