  “Less than 5% of the targets killed by the bomb we’re actually the intended targets”<br>Tim being part of the U.S. military, yeah that tracks.

  My grandfather was in OKC at the time, 3 blocks away from the federal building for a conference. After hearing the explosion, he, and a bunch of colleagues, ran up the street to find the streets littered with glass, concrete, paper, and bloodied people. He proceeded to spend hours helping people with the first responders, particularly mentioning having seen a woman with pieces of glass covering her entire body, and many deceased children. Afterwards, he returned to his hotel, and, after seeing himself in the mirror, he had finally noticed the amount of blood that covered him. <br>It&apos;s the only story he has told me that has made him cry.

  I love the idea of a guy genuinely not knowing the KKK is racist, getting the material, and going &quot;hey, wait, hang on, this is racist!&quot;.

  &quot;look for the helpers&quot; is something Mr. Rogers used to say, someone you would probably enjoy reading more about because the man was a saint.

  Interesting story: the now infamous photo of the wounded baby being held by the firefighter was taken by a freelance/amateur photographer. He was nearby when the bombing happened, and he remembered that he had a camera in the trunk of his parked car. He knew it would be important to document what had happened. He ran back to his car and grabbed his camera and ran to the scene. That photo of the wounded baby (her name was Baylee Almon) being cradled in a firefighters arms won the Pulitzer Prize in 1996.

  It baffles me the US Army came asking for a measly 1000$ overpaid to a Desert Storm veteran.

  I understood why Isaiah was getting emotional when talking about the victims of the bombing. Then he talked about the Firefighter finding the 6 month old girl. I started tearing up at work and had to walk into the back

  The boy at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCO8aDT1CS0&amp;t=76">1:16</a> is actually my brother. My mom’s two boys (my brothers), Chase and Colton, passed away in the Oklahoma City bombing. Chase was 3 years old, and Colton was just 2. My mom and grandma both worked a couple of blocks away and heard the bomb go off. When they realized it came from the direction of the Murrah Building, they ran there, but it was already too late.<br><br>My grandma ended up writing three books about everything that happened and her journey afterward. She’s also made a couple of documentaries. She even visited the Neo-Nazi camp where McVeigh and Nichols had stayed, has kept in regular contact with Terry Nichols over the years, and was there when Timothy McVeigh was executed.<br><br>The names of her books are Now You See Me: How I Forgave the Unforgivable, After Oklahoma City, and Shadows of Conspiracy. If anyone wants to check them out, they’re all really good.<br><br>Thank you for covering this topic Wendy.

  It’s crazy how Timothy made so many correct observations about government and came to the stupidest possible conclusions
