Still trying to find a way to forgive him. The hatred we live with today is truly shocking. You have one group burning cars, just because they don't like somebody. Shame.
Did they fiand out how did this poming this country ?
Who was the other person who rented the Ryder truck? Who was it FBI?
I visited this Memorial last year. What a beautiful place of memory to those taken on that day and yet so tragic
Remember WACO!
30 years ago…
Timothy McVeigh. Typical. Amerikkkan.😂😂😂
I was in OKC May 1995. It was sobering for an 18 year old to see.

I still remember TIME magazine of the Firefighter carrying the small broken body of the little girl named BAILEY. JUST thinking of it . I almost weep today.
When federal courts with FBI coverup 2children shot in head and left on railroad, Arkansas drug cartels shipped drugs from Central America for guns, and 49 children killed in wako FBI used military equipment, revealing 49 children deaths, how corrupt federal court and FBI, there not be anyone on Sunday in court house
Rest in Peace to all the victims of the Oklahoma City massacre!!🇺🇸
Sad story told by a great journalist.
I was in Oklahoma City that day and felt the explosion where I was about 2 miles away.
It says 2001. But it must have been before 9/11/2001/Tuesday.
Conservative hate and their far right anti government conspiracies did this too!
On October 22, 2024, I had the opportunity to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial and the Museum where I took a moment of silence at memorial to remember the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001; Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995; and remembering the innocent lives lost in Israel on October 7, 2023.
The memorial and museum were breathtaking experiences where I learned about the events that unfolded 30 years ago on April 19, 1995, and there is a video shown at the museum about how Oklahoma City recovered after the bombing occurred and after seeing the film, I had tears in my eyes since the film that I saw was very powerful. I am thankful for the Guardians of Oklahoma City who risked their lives saving others in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
If you’re ever in Oklahoma City, visiting the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum is worth the visit to remember the lives lost on a day that impacted both Oklahoma and the United States of America.
I've been to the 9/11 Memorial and this one, and they are **equally** moving, and stay with you for the rest of your life. If you possibly can, you should make a life goal of visiting both.
The building was designed to collapse! Period! Yes, the truck bomb did significant damage to several pillars and the 2 bottom floors. When the chain reaction occurred, all the floors simply PANCAKED. The ends of the Steel REBAR on each floor were not full loops, only a simple ineffective 90 degree bend. It was to look on First Responders Faces which were Dumbfounded as to how the building was PANCAKED. Tim should NOT have bore the full responsibility for the death toll, the Architect and the Building Inspectors the Contractors all knew what they were building was crap, although who would have expected a bomb to detonate out front.
I wasn’t there but I am 14 years old and I have learned so much about this that it feels like I was there❤
I was stationed at Fort Hood when this happened I remember it like yesterday.
I lived 30miles away and could feel it
This aired just months before 9/11. Little did I know watching this at 20yrs old in Miami ( I used to watched 60 minutes religiously with my mom every Sunday night) that the world would be changed forever in a couple of months. Here we are 24yrs later and the world has gotten WORST.
**Btw, now I’m 44, but I still look 26! 👌🏽
May the families continue to heal, and may the Fallen find peace
Ha, love how ironic the intro was, give it 4 months after this was aired you would have the devastating 9/11
How eerie that a few months after this was aired on 60 Minutes, 9/11 would happen.
I lived in Oklahoma for several years, quite a while after the bombing had occurred. I visited the memorial quite a few times, and I went through the museum at least twice.
