Terror In The Heartland
On April 19, 1995 at 9:02 am, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the morning air was shattered by the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. We watched in horror as the images unfolded before our eyes on local news channels. Lost forever were 168 of our friends, co-workers and children...

At 9:02am on April 19, a major explosion destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. 168 lives were lost, including 19 children and a nurse killed during the rescue attempt. 490 people were injured.
The source of the blast was a Ryder truck rented in Kansas and driven to Oklahoma City with an estimated 4800 lbs. of fertilizer and fuel oil based explosives inside.
Rescuers were on the scene immediately to help the countless victims. Civilians, firefighters and law enforcement officials worked tirelessly and at great risk to their own lives to rescue the injured and recover the dead.
After a tedious rescue effort involving teams of firefighters and volunteer rescuers from across the country there remained only three victims unaccounted for in the rubble.
A decision was made to move in heavy equipment and begin preparation for demolition of the now dangerously weakened structure.
The remaining hull of the Murrah Building was demolished by implosion on May 23, 1995 at 7:01am with 150 pounds of explosives. The three remaining victims were recovered shortly thereafter.
Oklahoman's learned that in a time of crisis, they had many friends they could count on. Friends, neighbors and families pulled together closer than ever before, and we were as one family. May we never forget that spirit that brought us through those dark times.
This page is dedicated as a memorial to those who survived, those who gave of their time without concern for their own lives and those who died. Long live the Spirit of Oklahoma!
