ABSTRACT
On Wednesday, April 19, 1995, at 9:02 AM local time, at 5th and Harvey Streets in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, a catastrophic explosion disintegrated half of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. One hundred and sixty-eight people died, either instantly or later from their sustained wounds. Over 500 others were injured, many losing eyes or limbs, and being so severely scarred, their lives would never again be the same. The property damage was assessed in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
