Oklahoma City Bombing

On the morning of April 19, 1995, an ex-Army soldier and security guard named Timothy McVeigh parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.

He was about to commit mass murder.

Inside the vehicle was a powerful bomb made out of a deadly cocktail of agricultural fertilizer, diesel fuel, and other chemicals. McVeigh got out, locked the door, and headed towards his getaway car. He ignited one timed fuse, then another.

At precisely 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, the bomb exploded.

The human toll was still more devastating: 168 souls lost, including 19 children, with several hundred more injured.

This is what it looks like today and how it's going to look like
on the 30th anniversary.
