It was an act of cowardice and it was evil. It was a game changer. It remains the worst act of domestic terrorism in american history. Perpetrated by one of our own. A decorated army veteran of the first gulf war. The Oklahoma City bombing, next. Everybody, lets get out of here now. Watch the electricity lines. Watch the lines. Oh my god, hurry. Okay. Im ready. Okay. Lets go. Tammy, you can see thick black smoke billowing from the federal Court Building downtown. We are seeing literally dozens of people that are bleeding. Some of them you cant even make them out. They are so badly injured. The impact was immediate and nationwide. An explosion in Oklahoma City with worldwide implications and enormous consequences. The bombing has sent shock waves through washington. There is increased security nationwide. The pentagon has activated its emergency disaster response. It could be a contractor. It could be a wacko. It could be a professional. You dont have to be a Rocket Scientists to create this kind of bomb. As the smoke began to clear, two questions reverberated across the country, who and why . The answers would be shocking. The man behind the devastation was an american. His name, Timothy Mcveigh. Tim mcveigh was one of ours. A war hero and grew up in the suburbs of buffalo. We needed to know. It was a sense, an obligation to find out who this man was. Timothy mcveigh was born on april 23rd, 1968, in the town of lockport in upstate, new york. By all accounts, he had an ordinary childhood and adolescence. We were never told anything that would have gave you warning he was going to do Something Like this. In fact, as a teenager, he was the young man that people in the neighborhood would choose to babysit their kids. He was a good student. He was bright. Above average intelligence. Sometimes you look at the history of severe criminal conduct and theres childhood abuse or abandonment, and you can see how someone developed into it. Nothing striking in mcveighs background. But the Young Mcveigh did have a dark side. While still a teenager, he discovered the turner diaries, a venomously racist novel, about an armed insurrection led by White Supremacists against a federal government. It describes a Truck Bombing of Fbi Headquarters in washington, d. C. , shortly after 9 00 in the morning sounding very similar to what took place in Oklahoma City on april 19th, 1995. If Timothy Mcveigh was looking to make a statement, then he had succeeded in the worst way possib. Debris, glass. It looks as though Emergency Crews are on the scene. The incredible explosion that ripped apart the ninestory alfred p. Murrah Federal Building hit with the force of roughly two tons of tnt. The air inside was whipped into a turning tornado on glass shards and choking black smoke. One Floor Pancaked onto the next crushing and trapping men, Women And Children below. The roof has collapsed. The second floor held a day care center. The lucky ones staggered into the street, some barely alive. Standing by. What the heck happened . I saw a yellow flash, and then everything went pitch black. The force of the blast bent me over my desk. The whole back of the building just fell in on us. Everyone along our set of offices has back injuries, head injuries, neck, bleeding, glass. I felt pain on my left side of my face and popping noises, and it was the glass shards. They just kept falling. It was a horrible noise, horrible noise. I remember saying, god, i dont want to die today, and i dont want to die in this building. If its all right with you, id like to die later. Felt like an earthquake. Something actually shook our television station. Thats five miles away. In the first frantic minutes, no one was quite sure what had caused the explosion. Initially, we thought it might have been a Gas Explosion because we had to evacuate the office two or three weeks earlier because there was a gas leak downtown. I thought that a war had started. I thought that Oklahoma City had been bombed, that we had been attacked by another country. I thought that the explosion was an atomic blast from Tinker Air Force base. I was trying to make sense out of it. I did not think it was a bomb. They have dog teams here searching for survivors and for bodies. Scores of people have been killed outright and hundreds more injured. The blast radius encompasses a 16block area, but the murrah building is ground zero. Bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms was headquartered there. Some of its members are missing. Social security was located there, a Child Care Center was located there. Initial estimates coming in there had been perhaps a thousand people. It was staggering the potential casualties and deaths that could have been caused by this bombing. Everything around the building was still on fire. Cars across the street were on fire. The trees that were there were on fire. People at this hour are literally trapped in the Alfred Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. Get back. Everybody, get back. Get back. Get back. They have found a bomb in the building. 90 minutes after the blast, a new panic radiates through the streets when First Responders come across what appears to be a second bomb. The Rescue Operation is suspended and a fourblock area is quickly evacuated. It is, thankfully, a false alarm, but precious moments have been lost. By the time the rescue resumes, investigators have swarmed the area. First question has been answered, was this just a freak accidental explosion of some kind or was it intentional . We know now. It is quickly determined that the explosion at the Federal Building was caused by a truck bomb. There are certain things you can look for, particularly in the case of a large vehicle bomb. There was roughly a 32foot crater in the street. It appeared to be just about dead center of the block. Then investigators get the first big break. They learn that a rear axle housing that probably came from the truck bomb has landed around 200 yards from the bomb site. I heard something coming through the air, and i looked up and you could see this big object coming straight toward us. When it hit the car, it knocked it back to the other sets of doors back here. I looked at the front of my car, and there was an axle laying there. I looked to my wife, it was a car bomb. Early indications are the bomb was a halfton homemade bomb made of common fertilizer and fuel oil. Fortunately, the axle housing contains the trucks confidential vehicle identification number. Using that number, we were able to trace the vehicle itself and identify it as a ford motor product that had been made for ryder rental company. The Ryder Company informs the fbi this particular truck was assigned to elliotts body shop in Junction City, kansas. More than 270 miles north of Oklahoma City. Fbi agents discovered the truck had been rented two days earlier. The Rental Documents themselves showed that it was rented by a robert bob kling. We had no idea who robert kling was or whether he was a real person. An employee provides a detailed description of kling and another man he believed was with him. Who was robert kling, and why had he just murdered nearly 200 men, Women And Children . Within 24 hours, the nation would learn the stunning truth. Let there be no room for doubt. We will find the people who did this. Brewer im dramatically holding this bottle, so the light hits it just right, and people think. Wow. He knows what hes doing.

There is very little hope for those that are left in that building. The Oklahoma City bombing will go down in history as one of those elemental moments that people will remember where they were at the time. This is the grisly, meticulous Search Effort to find bodies. Less than 90 minutes after the blast, about 75 miles north of Oklahoma City, state trooper Charlie Hanger stops a 1977 Mercury Marquis for not having a license plate. The driver of the car is one Timothy James mcveigh. When he got out of the car, he looked like a cleancut young man, militarytype appearance. He had a short haircut and had a Light Windbreaker jacket on zipped up at the bottom. As he removed the billfold, that jacket tightened up, and i saw a bulge that appeared to be a. A weapon, and i grabbed the bulge on the outside of his jacket, and instructed him to get his hands up and turn around at the same time i was drawing my weapon and stuck it to the back of his head. He said my weapon is loaded. I nudged him a little bit with the barrel of my weapon and said so is mine. He arrested mcveigh for carrying a concealed weapon, never imaging his prisoner is the Oklahoma City bomber. Initially, the name mcveigh Means Nothing to bombing investigators. Theyre looking for robert kling, the man who rented the ryder truck in Junction City, kansas. It seems hard to believe that all this destruction was the work of only two men. The next day, armed with sketches of kling and a suspected companion, Law Enforcement officers canvas the entire area. One agent was assigned the Dreamland Motel, and when he walked in, he talked to the owner of that particular place and he asked her, has anyone been in here that had a ryder truck with them . She said, actually, there was recently. The agent decided to show her the artist conception, and she looked at and it said that really looks like the fellow who rented room 25. He had rented the room In The Name Of tim mcveigh. The ryder rental truck had been rented In The Name Of robert kling so there was some question as to which is the true name, if either were the true name. So we do a record search through our National CrimeInformation Center to see if any tim mcveighs have been arrested anywhere in the United States recently. And to our surprise, we learned that a Timothy Mcveigh has been arrested in noble county which is about 75 miles north of Oklahoma City and was arrested the morning of the bombing. It turned out that he was still there, but he was getting ready to be released on bail. But we put a hold on him until our agents could get there to interview him. Was this the same Timothy Mcveigh that was at the Dreamland Motel . At this point, we dont necessarily know. Our agents tried to interview Timothy Mcveigh. When they approached him, they asked him, do you know what were here for . He said, probably about that Oklahoma City thing. And he gave us his name, rank and serial number and refused to talk to us anymore. In washington, attorney general janet reno announces the arrest. I am pleased to annoue that one of the individuals believed to be responsible for wednesdays terrible attack has been arrested. I remind everyone that John Doe Number Two remains at large. You murderer when mcveigh is taken from the local courthouse to be transported to Oklahoma City, he is met by an angry crowd and screams of baby killer. Rot in hell. Is it the act of someone which the United States government in its entire ill . I was so hoping that it was not an american. Its hard to believe americans blowing up americans. It just boggled my mind. What tim mcveigh did was the worst act of domestic terrorism in american history. The entire country was shocked and riveted that somebody could come from whitebred suburbia and commit such a hellacious act. I have a daughter thats 3, and to think shell grow up in this is scary. Investigators are certain that mcveigh is the john doe number one in the police sketch, but they still have not identified John Doe Number Two. John doe number two, if the fbi cant find him, does he exist . Fbi chief louis freeh sent him this message, there is no place on earth where you will be safe. The michigan address on mcveighs drivers license is the home of a man named james nichols. Its a critical development. Nichols brother, terry, has been Close Friends with mcveigh since they served together in the army. Like mcveigh, nichols is known to harbor antigovernment views. Terry nichols, just four days before the blast, took out a new Insurance Policy on his pickup truck. An Arrest Warrant is quickly issued, and later that same day nichols turns himself in. By now, the Rescue Operation at the murrah building has become a recovery effort. Authorities in this building behind me are coming across more bodies. The search for bodies will last for two full weeks. Most of the survivors wanted to go to most of the funerals, and thats tough going to 16 funerals, let me tell you. That was really hard, but we needed to do it. Two women are believed to be still in the building with an elderly man. Finally, on may 5th, 1995, with three victims still buried in the rubble, the search came to an end. This was not two or three people from this city or two or three people from that city. This was Oklahoma City. The terrorism was directed at the city. The terrorism was directed at its people. It was a sword at the heart of Oklahoma City.
