Murrah Federal Building Bombing\, Oklahoma City\, OK (19 95) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260419T040000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260420T040000Z UID:298702584026 DESCRIPTION:Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Bombing\, Oklahoma City\, OK \nOn April 19\, 1993\, the standoff between the FBI and the Branch Davidi an cult (led by David Koresh) at the Davidian compound in Waco\, Texas end ed in a fiery tragedy. When the FBI tried to end the standoff by gassing t he complex\, the entire compound went up in fire\, claiming the lives of 7 5 followers\, including many young children. The death toll was high and m any people blamed the U.S. government for the tragedy. One such person was Timothy McVeigh.\nMcVeigh\, angered by the Waco tragedy\, decided to enac t retribution to those he felt responsible -- the federal government\, esp ecially the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol\, Tobacco\, and Firearms (ATF). In downtown Oklahoma City\, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building held num erous federal agency offices\, including those of the ATF.\nPlanning his r evenge for the second anniversary of the Waco disaster\, McVeigh enlisted his friend Terry Nichols and several others to help him pull off his plan. In September 1994\, McVeigh purchased large amounts of fertilizer (ammoni um nitrate) and then stored it in a rented shed in Herington\, Kansas. The ammonium nitrate was the main ingredient for the bomb. McVeigh and Nichol s stole other supplies needed to complete the bomb from a quarry in Marion \, Kansas.\nOn April 17\, 1995\, McVeigh rented a Ryder truck and then McV eigh and Nichols loaded the Ryder truck with approximately 5\,000 pounds o f ammonium nitrate fertilizer. On the morning of April 19th\, McVeigh drov e the Ryder truck to the Murrah Federal Building\, lit the bomb's fuse\, p arked in front of the building\, left the keys inside the truck and locked the door\, then walked across the parking lot to an alley\, then started to jog.\nOn the morning of April 19\, 1995\, most employees of the Murrah Federal Building had already arrived at work and children had already been dropped off at the daycare center when the huge explosion tore through th e building at 9:02 a.m. Nearly the entire north face of the 9-story buildi ng was pulverized into dust and rubble.\nIn took weeks of sorting through debris to find the victims. In all\, 168 people were killed in the explosi on\, which included 19 children. One nurse was also killed during the resc ue operation.\nNinety minutes after the explosion\, McVeigh was pulled ove r by a highway patrol officer for driving without a license plate but when the officer discovered that McVeigh had an unregistered gun\, he arrested him on a firearms charge. Before McVeigh was released\, his ties to the e xplosion were discovered. Unfortunately for McVeigh\, almost all his purch ases and rental agreements related to the bombing could be traced back to him after the explosion. On June 3\, 1997\, McVeigh was convicted of murde r and conspiracy and on August 15\, 1997 he was sentenced to death by leth al injection. On June 11\, 2001\, McVeigh was executed.\nNichols was broug ht in for questioning two days after the blast and then arrested for his r ole in McVeigh's plan. On December 24\, 1997\, a federal jury found Nichol s guilty and on June 5\, 1998 Nichols was sentenced to life in prison. In March 2004\, Nichols went on trial for murder charges by the state of Okla homa.\nA third accomplice\, Michael Fortier\, who testified against McVeig h and Nichols\, received a 12-year prison sentence and was fined $200\,000 on May 27\, 1998 for knowing about the plan but not informing authorities before the explosion.\nWhat little remained of the Murrah Federal Buildin g was demolished on May 23\, 1995. In 2000\, a memorial was built on the l ocation to remember the tragedy of the Oklahoma City Bombing.\n\nhttp://ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=VMrYeMTXifc&feature=related\n\n LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
