Mandela Effected - First U.S. Terrorist Attack is in 1916

The Black Tom Explosion of 1916

In my Mandela Effect obsession I have spent hours in search of new effects, and I have ran across an event in United States History that people are claiming to have been written into the timeline courtesy of the Mandela Effect.

This event is called "The Black Tom Explosion of 1916". Where on July 30th, 1916 in Jersey City, NJ, an act of Sabotage by two German Agents had blown up 50 tons of TNT, and 69 railroad freight cars which were storing more than a thousand tons of ammunition heading out to WW1 for the French, and British across the sea.

Two million tons of war materials igniting created a blast so hard it registered a 5.5 on the Richter Scale. The location of the Black Tom railroad yard was right in the New York Harbor which meant the Statue of Liberty took the brunt of the damage followed by windows beign broken as far as 25 miles away, and 500 million dollars in damage in today's money. The Statue of Liberty took enough damage to permanently close down visitor access to the torch.

Even though the Black Tom Explosion is explained away as a cover up in the American Heroes Channel YouTube clip, There is enough evidence to prove otherwise in that as early as 1979 it would have been made public that Germany was responsible for this attack. The Lehigh Valley Railroad which owned Black Tom Island received compensation from Germany, on a settlement of $50 million dollars. This meant that this terror attack had made it's way through the court system, and the owners knew enough to sue Germany and had plenty of evidence to support their claim. There also was a book written in 1989 called,"Sabotage at Black Tom: Imperial Germany’s Secret War in America", 1914-1917, Algonquin Books. My point being that this is not an historical event that was covered up and only recently released to the public, and there are many examples of this attack by Germany being in the realm of public knowledge throughout the 20th Century.

As someone who also avidly researched 9-11, the only attack spoke of by the media, and many prominent 9-11 researchers from a foreign government on American soil was the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor . 9-11 was always discussed as the first time in modern history that The U.S. mainland was ever assaulted.
Why was The Black Tom Explosion never brought up as the very first Terrorist Attack in U.S. History?

If you don't believe in the Mandela Effect, I will almost guarantee you at the very least you have just learned a piece of American History that until recently was unknown.

The Mandela Effect is the most underated conspiracy theory to date. The consequences of government's or scientist's having the ability to alter time lines is major. I believe there is enough evidence to date that some event has occurred and has literally changed reality in some way and it is not a matter of millions of people misremembering.
