Byrne and Hoffman lived on West 11th Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan in 1970 when members of The Weather Underground, a group of left-wing militants planning a terror bombing of Columbia University and Fort Dix in NJ were killed by a premature detonation of explosives they'd been stockpiling in the house next door to the couple. Dustin Hoffman can be seen in footage from the scene.[2]
