April 19th, 1995

On this day, April 19th, 1995, at 9:02 AM, white supremacist Timothy McVeigh destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City with an anfo bomb concealed in a U-Haul truck. The blast killed 168 people, including 19 children in a day care facility. The truck was parked directly in front of the day care. Over 800 people were injured. It remains the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history.

Not many people think about it anymore or even know it happened. Time has moved on, and 9/11 eclipsed it in terms of death and destruction. Remember though: 9/11 has committed by foreigners from the Middle East. The bombing of the Murrah building was committed by a native-born U.S. citizen, an army veteran, with the assistance of other U.S. citizens.

We Remember. We Will Never Forget.
