"Final
Report
on
the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building" 
On April
19, 1995, just after parents dropped their children off at the
day care center at the Murrah Federal
Building in downtown Oklahoma
City, a massive bomb inside a Ryder Rental Truck and
supplemental charges inside the building,
blew half of the nine-story building into oblivion, killing 168 people
and injuring hundreds of others.
