Al Capone's Valentine's Day MASSACRE — 70 Bullets Killed 7 Men in 45 Seconds

February 14, 1929. Valentine's Day. While couples exchanged flowers, Al Capone orchestrated the bloodiest massacre in mob history. 2122 North Clark Street. SMC Cartage Company garage. Seven men stood facing a wall, thinking it was a routine police raid. Then the machine guns started firing. 70 bullets. 45 seconds. Seven dead bodies. And Chicago's most powerful gang war ended in the most brutal way imaginable. This is the true story of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre—how Al Capone eliminated his biggest rival Bugs Moran's entire crew with fake police uniforms, Thompson submachine guns, and a plan so perfect that no one was ever convicted. But here's the twist: the one man Al wanted dead most—Bugs Moran himself—arrived 5 minutes late and escaped death. That 5-minute delay changed everything. The massacre made Al Capone the undisputed King of Chicago. But it also made him the FBI's number one target. Two years later, he was in Alcatraz. Sometimes your greatest victory becomes your greatest downfall. --- 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more untold mobster stories 👍 LIKE if you believe power comes with a price 💬 COMMENT: Would you have pulled the trigger in Al's position? #AlCapone #StValentinesDay #ChicagoMob #TrueCrime #MafiaHistory #OrganizedCrime #1920s #Prohibition #BugsMoran #ChicagoHistory
