If it's the one about the second-by-second account of the explosion and collapse of the building, I saw that the other night too!

Very fascinating documentary I think a lot of you guys would enjoy if you ever run across it on TV.

Hard to believe that was 10 years ago.

Has anyone here ever been to the memorial they put up in OKC?

Yeah I think it's that one, "Seconds from disaster".
Very interesting...

Haven't read it, but "The Third Terrorist : The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing" by Jayna Davis is supposed to be a good read. Links Iraqui intellegence to the bombing and events leading up to 9/11.

I work 1 block North of the Memorial. It is a very humbling and surreal sight to see. I remember exactly where I was on that day. I was going to college in Ada, OK. (about 80 miles from OKC) I had an 8am zoology class I had just gotten out of, and was walking back to the apartment. I remember hearing the boom, but didn't think much of it. Thought it might have been a sonic boom or something. Got to the house, turned on the radio, and heard there was an explosion in downtown OKC. Spent the rest of the day watching TV coverage. Later that evening, my roommates and I waited in line until 10pm to donate blood, with the rest of the state of Oklahoma. Thats all we could think of to do to help at the moment.

If your ever in OKC, I suggest you visit the memorial, and take the museum tour. Its well worth your time.

The memorial and museum are well worth your time. Plan 3-4 hrs minimum if you plan on seeing both.
