At the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, a quiet spring day began
like any other in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Government
employees arrived for a busy workday. Parents dropped their
children off at the day care center. Suddenly, a colossal explosion
tore through the nine-story building, the front of it crumbling to
the ground. More than one hundred people died instantly. Many more
were injured. Tragedy gripped the nation. What caused the
explosion? An American terrorist had detonated a bomb. Author
Victoria Sherrow examines this catastrophic day, including stories
from witnesses and survivors, and the cause of this hateful
crime—homegrown terrorism.
