Description
On April 19, 1995, two years to the day following the U.S. government’s botched raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, a rented truck pulled to the curb in front of the nine story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. Inside the building, about 500 federal employees, and several hundred visitors were beginning their workday.  Then, at 9:04 a.m., came the explosion which would alter the American social and political landscape.   Contributors: Jerry Bohnen, former KTOK News director David Bohrman, former executive producer of special events for NBC News Beth O’Connell, former Senior Producer, Today Show Stewart Dan, former Chicago-based producer, Today Show Tony Clark, former Dallas Bureau Chief and CNN Correspondent Trace Ready, former CNN cameraman Chris Hansen, Investigative news reporter Stephanie Becker, former Los Angeles-based producer, NBC   Broadcast audio licensed from CNN/WarnerMedia, CBS News, NBC News.
