The Oklahoma City Bombing: Not Your Typical Tuesday Morning Commute
So, you're here for the lowdown on the Oklahoma City Bombing? Buckle up, buttercup, because this one's a doozy. It all went down on April 19th, 1995, a seemingly ordinary Tuesday. People were sipping coffee, faxing TPS reports (remember those?), and generally going about their business. Then, boom! A giant explosion rocks downtown Oklahoma City, turning the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building into a pile of rubble.
Whodunnit? Enter Timothy McVeigh, a disgruntled ex-army dude with some serious anti-government beef. He wasn't exactly a fan of the feds, and decided to make his feelings known in a rather explosive way.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The Damage? Let's just say it wasn't a fender bender. 168 innocent people lost their lives, including many children. Over 500 others were injured. It was a terrible tragedy that left a huge scar on Oklahoma City and the entire nation.

But Why? McVeigh was angry about a few things, like the Waco siege (another government incident that didn't go swimmingly). He felt the feds were out of control and needed to be, well, bombed. Let's just say his anger management skills needed some work.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
