31 years ago on April 19, 1995 the Federal Building was blown up in OKC. Up to this point this was the worst terrorist attack on American Soil. Now after 9/11 it is the worst domestic terrorist attack. I was in 7th grade when this happened. And I remember the news said this had to be an Islamic Terrorist. Who would do this? Then America got their first glimpse of the man who blew up this building and killed 168 people - 19 of whom were children! America felt lied to. The bomber - Timothy McVeigh - who was white, Christian, and a veteran of America's military. Why would he do this? He was upset with the Government - especially Waco. Look what is anger did!
This happened in our backyard. People in Tulsa felt the shock of the explosion. The site is now a Memorial and museum. You should go if you can!
