| THIS WEB PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORIES OF THE 168 PEOPLE THAT
WERE KILLED ON APRIL19, 1995 WHEN THE MURRAH FEDERAL BUILDING IN OKLAHOMA CITY WAS DESTROYED. A 4,800 POUND BOMB EXPLODED AT 9:02AM IN A RYDER TRUCK THAT WAS LEFT PARKED IN FRONT OF THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING. WITHIN SECONDS, THE NINE-STORIES WERE REDUCED TO TWO STORIES ON THE NORTH FACE OF THE BUILDING. NINETEEN CHILDREN IN THE THE SECOND FLOOR DAY CARE CENTER WERE KILLED. THE YOUNGEST WAS THREE MONTHS OLD. THAT HORRIBLE DAY IS FOREVER ETCHED IN THE MEMORIES OF OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. AMERICANS ATTACKED THE AMERICAN HEARTLAND THAT DAY. THE FIREMAN RAN THROUGH DEBRIS AND RUBBLE TRYING TO GET THE RESCUED LITTLE GIRL TO MEDICAL HELP. LITTLE BAYLEE DIED A SHORT TIME LATER. HER FIRST BIRTHDAY WAS THE DAY BEFORE... THE SECOND AND FINAL BLAST LEVELED THE FEDERAL BUILDING WHEN DEMOLITION ENGINEERS CLEARED AWAY THE RAGGED REMNANTS. A MEMORIAL STANDS IN ITS PLACE TODAY. ON MAY 16, 2001, TIMOTHY MC VEIGH, WAS SCHEDULED TO DIE BY LETHAL INJECTION. HOWEVER, THE FBI DID NOT SUBMIT ALL OF THEIR DOCUMENTS ON THIS CASE UNTIL TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE EXECUTION DATE. SO, THE FBI DIRECTOR ORDERED A STAY OF EXECUTION. MC VEIGH WAS CONVICTED IN FEDERAL COURT FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF LIVES AND PROPERTY AT OKLAHOMA CITY. HE ALSO CONFESSED TO THIS CRIME OF THE CENTURY. "I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE; I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL," HE QUOTED FROM A POEM. AT 8:14am, JUNE 11, 2001, TIMOTHY MCVEIGH WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD BY LETHAL INJECTION BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT HE DESPISED. HE WAS THE FIRST FEDERAL PRISONER TO BE EXECUTED IN 38 YEARS. HE OFFERED NO TRACE OF REMORSE. TERRY NICHOLS, MC VEIGH'S CO-CONSPIRATOR, WAS FOUND GUILTY OF 161 COUNTS OF MURDER . HE RECEIVED 161 LIFE SENTENCES WITHOUT THE CHANCE OF PAROLE ON ALL OKLAHOMA STATE CHARGES. IN 2004, NICHOLS WAS TAKEN TO THE SUPERMAX FEDERAL PRISON AT FLORENCE, COLORADO WHERE HE WILL SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE. NICHOLS'S CELL MATES ARE TED KACZYNSKI, THE UNABOMBER; RICHARD REID, THE 2003 SHOE BOMBER; AND RAMZI YOUSEF, THE AL-QAEDA MASTERMIND WHO DROVE THE RYDER TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ON 2-2-1993. |
