Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
I was at work, listening to people immediately assume it was Muslims. Nothing much has changed.
We were in a post office and people were talking about it
in shocked hushed tones, the P.O. workers looked concerned.
We rushed home and watched the horror of it all on TV, shocked.
I was out working when I heard the news. Another mark of the Clinton legacy.
I remember Clinton blaming this on "right wing radio"
I also remember looking for a second bomber - for at least a little while
i was a freshman in college. seems like forever ago.
I had just finished getting new tires put on my car and was heading home when I heard the first news report on the radio.
I was at the Orlando Airport waiting for a flight to Boston and feeling very uncomfortable about being there as my gut felt it was international terrorism.
I had just returned to my dorm room from my 8 o'clock class. I only had one other class that day - Wednesday afternoon fluff class.
I spent most of the morning, and afternoon, on the phone with relatives and scanning the TV coverage for my uncle, since we hadn't heard from him. Finally heard from him about 6.
Long day.
I was on a Bombing Range in Arizona, wondering which Islamic faction was responsible.
I was in London.
I was at work in the Crecent Center building in Memphis. My secretary came in and said her husband, who was on a business trip in OK City, had called. He had heard a loud explosion from his hotel room and said there were emergency vehicles running everywhere.
In Cancun in a pool for spring break in my senior year in HS.
Serving jury duty in downtown Indianapolis. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on TV. IIRC Senator Richard Lugar was doing a speech downtown that same day.
I was at work in Houston. A friend called and told me and then we all turned on the radio and listened, horrified.
I was sitting in my apartment on 144th and Penn in Oklahoma City. I was trying to finish a long lab report which was due for Industrial Microbiology class.
I distinctly remember the blast as it rattled my apartment. I origininally thought it was a sonic boom from Tinker AFB. However, something told me to turn on my scanner. I just sat there in shock as I heard what was happening. I even heard the BOLO go out for the middle eastern males.
Wow. Time passes, but the memories still remain.
lets throw in that middle eastern connection while where at it. I do believe in that coverup.
Just damn.

I'd not gone into work that morning, as I had something like an 8:30 or 9 am (west coast) appointment for my annual physical...therefore, I had the TV on and was able to catch much of the "breaking news" business.
I was at work talking on the phone with my wife, when she told me it felt like something just crashed into our house. After flipping on a radio and hearing of an explosion downtown, I decided to call my mom to see if she knew what was happening. When she didn't answer, I turned on the TV and saw that it was her building and knew immediately in my spirit that she was gone.
It's hard to believe she has been gone for 11 years now. The hardest part has always been my kids growing up without their "Grammy" and the change it caused in my dad. Unfortunately, he looked to "stuff" (riches, houses, travel, etc...) to fill the hole left in his heart, instead of God and his family.
My brother had just died the month before and I was in my car, coming home from my sister-in-law's after having visited her and the kids in Rochester, N.Y. for a few days. I was listening to the radio when I first heard the reports.
