Oklahoma City bombing
April 19, 1995
A rented Ryder truck packed with four thousand pounds of ammonium nitrate exploded in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. One hundred sixty-eight died, nineteen of them children in the daycare center. The bomber was Timothy McVeigh, a white army veteran who hated the federal government. Domestic terrorism was now American.
