Remembering the Oklahoma City bombing victims, 30 years after the terror attack

On April 19, 1995, the Oklahoma City bombing, the deadliest homegrown terrorist attack in U.S. history, claimed 168 lives and injured hundreds, primarily targeting the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum honors the victims by preserving their stories and promoting educational initiatives against violence, attracting around half a million visitors annually. Timothy McVeigh, a former Army soldier, orchestrated the bombing with a homemade bomb, resulting in extensive casualties, including 19 children, and leaving a lasting impact on survivors and families.
