26 years ago this morning the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was Bombed...

they are doing the annual memorial ceremony today. I’ll never forget that morning. It impacted so many people in this area whether they were directly affected or involved in helping with rescues or cleanup or had to move out of their apartment due to structural damages or donated supplies or whatever. My daughter said students in her mid-high school were running down the hallway screaming because their parent was working in the building or the one next to it. Some of the parents died or lost a leg from the explosion. My daughter had a seizure the next day from the stress.

I first heard about that incident through watching an episode of Rescue 911.

I was 8 years old at the time, soon to be 9 in August of that year.

I remember coming home from school and since I didn't have any homework, I decided to watch television and that episode of Rescue 911 was playing.

@Sidewinder the rescue operation lasted for over a week and it took a huge amount of volunteers. There were so many things that were requested for donations to help with it. They were asking for laundered used sweat pants and tops that would be worn once and discarded due to the blood inside of the building....gave a huge bag of them to the donation truck to be used...people were homeless for awhile that lived nearby and we also donated food & supplies to them.
