On the morning of April 19, 1995, a former US Army soldier parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building, located in downtown Oklahoma City.   Inside the truck was everything he needed to carry out his plan of terrorism and mass murder. He had a large bomb, which he created using agricultural fertilizer and some chemicals, including diesel fuel. After parking the car, he got out and walked toward his getaway car, a yellow Mercury Marquis.   He ignited a timed fuse, and a second fuse as backup.   Inside the building, in one of the office conference rooms, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board had just begun a 9 am meeting.   The blast effect was equivalent to over 5000 pounds of TNT, and could be heard and felt 55 miles away. The blast either destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a 4-block radius. 86 cars were either burned or destroyed, and a large section of the Federal building had been reduced to rubble. News crews were shocked when they first viewed the damage from their helicopter.   Inside the building, 163 people were killed. Additional casualties were one person in the nearby Athenian building, one woman in a parking lot across the street, two people in the Oklahoma Water Resources building, and a rescue worker who was struck on the head by falling debris. In total, 168 people died that day. 19 of those were children. Almost 700 other people were injured.   My guest today, Amy, was in the Federal Building that morning. She worked on the third floor, at the Federal Employees Credit Union.   You're about to hear her talk about what happened to her that day. But just as amazing is what has happened to her SINCE that day.   And on top of that – this is a Flashback episode. Amy told this story on the podcast about 5 years ago. So at the end you'll hear a conversation I had with her just recently about what she's up to recently. I'll just say this – she's retired now, but she's definitely not relaxing.     If you'd like to contact Amy, you can do that through her website: AmyDowns.org     Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/215   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

This Day in Legal History: Terry Nichols ConvictedOn December 23, 1997, Terry Nichols was convicted of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and eight counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. This devastating attack, orchestrated with Timothy McVeigh, targeted the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more. The bombing was the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history at the time. Nichols, who played a critical role in the attack by helping McVeigh acquire and prepare the bomb materials, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. McVeigh, the primary perpetrator, had already been convicted earlier that year on June 2 and was sentenced to death. Nichols' trial, however, focused more on his involvement as an accomplice, leading to a conviction that avoided the death penalty. The two trials revealed the intricacies of their plot, rooted in anti-government ideologies and resentment over events such as the Waco siege and Ruby Ridge standoff. The bombing's aftermath led to significant legal and policy changes, including the enactment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which aimed to streamline federal appeals in death penalty cases and enhance law enforcement's ability to combat terrorism. Nichols' conviction underscored the gravity of conspiratorial roles in acts of terror, even when not directly carrying out the attack. The legal proceedings surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing remain pivotal in understanding the U.S. response to domestic terrorism. Nichols' case highlighted the critical balance between achieving justice and addressing the broader ideological threats behind such acts. President Joe Biden signed a funding bill that prevents a government shutdown and keeps federal operations running through March 14, 2025. The legislation passed with bipartisan support in the Senate (85-11) and the House after earlier proposals faltered under pressure from President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The funding package includes over $100 billion for disaster relief and farmers, according to the White House. Preparations for a potential shutdown had begun, with federal workers warned of possible furloughs, though critical services like law enforcement and air traffic control would have continued without pay. The funding negotiations highlighted Trump's influence over the Republican Party, as his opposition derailed an earlier bipartisan agreement brokered by House Speaker Mike Johnson. A Trump-backed proposal to waive or raise the debt ceiling also failed due to opposition from conservative Republicans.Musk's endorsement of the final deal gave Johnson a much-needed boost, though the speaker faces ongoing challenges, including a potential leadership fight when the House reconvenes in January.US Congress Sends Spending Deal to Biden on Brink of DeadlineRudy Giuliani urged a federal court to dismiss attempts by Georgia poll workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea' Moss to impose sanctions or hold him in contempt for allegedly obstructing trial preparations. The workers, who won a $148 million defamation judgment against Giuliani, claim he has ignored court orders to produce financial documents, risking further legal consequences. Giuliani denied deliberately withholding information, stating in a declaration that any missing documents were not intentionally concealed.The upcoming January 16 trial will determine whether Giuliani's Palm Beach condo and other assets, including three World Series rings, can be seized to satisfy the judgment. Giuliani, who filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after the defamation ruling, lost significant assets, including his Manhattan apartment and a Mercedes-Benz, due to his ongoing financial troubles. Giuliani's attorney argued that the litigation is politically motivated and vowed to defend him against what they describe as efforts to ruin his reputation. The poll workers, represented by multiple prominent law firms, have not commented publicly on Giuliani's recent filing.Rudy Giuliani Pushes Back on Poll Workers' Call for SanctionsGoogle proposed adjustments to its agreements with Apple and other partners to reduce its dominance in online search, following a U.S. court ruling that it holds an illegal monopoly. The company suggested making its search engine agreements non-exclusive and unbundling its Play Store from Chrome and search for Android devices. Google also offered to allow browser developers to reconsider default search engine settings annually, but it did not agree to end revenue-sharing deals with partners, which remain a key source of funding for companies like Mozilla and Apple.The U.S. government seeks more sweeping remedies, such as stopping Google from paying to be the default search engine and requiring the company to license its search technology to competitors. Prosecutors argue that Google's dominance stifles innovation and competition, particularly as search technologies evolve with artificial intelligence. Google plans to appeal the ruling but emphasized caution in imposing remedies that could harm innovation. The government aims to show the need for broader measures at a trial scheduled for April 2025, where it will call witnesses from OpenAI, Microsoft, and others to support its case.Google offers to loosen search deals in US antitrust case remedy | ReutersA federal judge has temporarily blocked Illinois' law prohibiting swipe fees on retail taxes and tips from applying to national banks, though the restriction remains in effect for payment card networks like Visa and Mastercard. The Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act was challenged by the American Bankers Association and other banking groups, who argued that federal law preempts state regulations for national banks. US District Judge Virginia M. Kendall agreed, issuing a preliminary injunction to exempt national banks while the case proceeds. The ruling reflects ongoing legal tensions between state financial regulations and federal preemption for nationally chartered banks. For now, payment card networks remain subject to the Illinois law's restrictions.Banks Get Temporary Pause on Illinois Swipe Fee Restrictions (3)Luigi Mangione, charged with killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, faces both state terrorism and murder charges, marking a significant legal strategy. Prosecutors allege that Mangione's actions, including the brazen December 4 shooting, were intended to intimidate and coerce the public and influence policy, thus justifying the terrorism charge. If convicted on state charges, Mangione could face life in prison without parole. The decision to classify the killing as an act of terrorism, rather than solely as murder, underscores its broader societal implications. It reflects the legal view that the crime was aimed at instilling fear or advancing an agenda against the healthcare industry. Authorities cited evidence, including a notebook found at Mangione's arrest, with entries expressing hostility toward wealthy executives and the insurance sector, and outlining plans to target Thompson.Mangione also faces federal charges for stalking and killing Thompson, which could result in the death penalty if pursued by prosecutors. The parallel state and federal cases involve different legal theories, with state prosecutors focusing on societal intimidation and federal authorities emphasizing the personal targeting of Thompson. Charging Mangione with terrorism amplifies the gravity of the crime and sets a precedent for how similar cases tied to ideological motives may be prosecuted in the future.Suspect in UnitedHealth CEO's killing faces terrorism charges in New York | Reuters This is a public episode.

Judge Richard P. Matsch (1930-2019) served as a United States District Judge for the District of Colorado from 1974 to 2019. He is best known for his service as the trial judge in charge of the criminal trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who were convicted in 1997 for their roles in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Before Matsch's service as a federal judge, he worked as a lawyer in private practice in Denver, a federal prosecutor, and a bankruptcy referee and bankruptcy judge in Colorado. Matsch grew up in Burlington, Iowa, worked in his father's grocery store there, and attended a junior college and then the University of Michigan for college and law school. After law school, he served in the U.S. Army from 1953-55 around the end of the Korean War doing counterintelligence work in South Korea. In describing his career as a public servant, Judge Matsch quoted George Bernard Shaw:I'm of the opinion that my life belongs to the community. And as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die. For the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no brief candle for me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got hold of for a moment and want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.The full oral history interview of Judge Matsch in 2018 by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Bruce Campbell (retired), from which these podcasts are excerpted, is available at the Historical Society's website at:  https://www.10thcircuithistory.org/oral-historiesFirst podcast episode:In the first podcast episode, Judge Matsch discussed his work on the Keyes v. School District No. 1 case from 1973 to 1995, implementing the U.S. Supreme Court's direction in 1973 to have a federal judge oversee desegregation “root and branch” of the Denver Public Schools through busing of students. Ultimately in 1995, Judge Matsch held that the vestiges of past discrimination by the school district had been eliminated to the extent practicable, and ended the mandatory busing of students in Denver Public Schools.Matsch also discussed in this episode several other cases that involved constitutional issues including free speech and the free exercise of religion under the First Amendment, and equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.In Judge Matsch's 1977 ruling that called for girls to be able participate in a Colorado high school soccer program comparable to boys soccer, he noted:Any notion that young women are so inherently weak, delicate or physically inadequate that the State must protect them from the folly of participation in vigorous athletics is a cultural anachronism unrelated to reality. The Constitution does not permit the use of governmental power to control or limit cultural changes or to prescribe masculine and feminine roles.Hoover v. Meiklejohn, 430 F.Supp. 164 (D.

McVeigh and United States v. Nichols criminal cases. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were charged with orchestrating the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.Matsch sought to hold fair trials that respected both the interest of the people in Oklahoma harmed by the bombing of the federal building and also the rights of the criminal defendants. Part of protecting the defendants' rights included providing significant financial support for the defense teams. Matsch famously told participants: “This is not theater; this is a trial.”McVeigh was convicted in 1997, sentenced to death, and executed in 2001 after an appeal of his conviction. Nichols was convicted in 1997 and sentenced to life in prison.Judge Matsch explained how he dealt with public interest in the trial:I stressed to everybody, this case is not about me. When I was first notified of this, the press got it; there was a demand that there be an opportunity to talk to me about it. So I stood out on the courthouse steps on that afternoon and answered a few questions, but that was the last time I ever met with the press. It was important to recognize, all right, this is a trial. We have a lot of trials. We're doing this as much as possible. It's just another trial.             *           *           *When it comes to the trial itself, of course, the fundamental question is fairness and the ability to see the defendant sitting at defense table as a human being and not objectify this person as someone who has done some terrible crime.But he also explained how he dealt at trial with the emotionally powerful evidence:So in the Oklahoma City trials, I had the difficult problem of very emotional testimony from people in the building and relatives. That was heartbreaking. One of the most emotional parts of that case was that right there in the front of that building was a nursery, a daycare center, and all those children were killed, including babies. An

Part two of the series on the Oklahoma City Bombing, in this episode the boys jump into the complex and contentious case against Timothy McVeigh, unraveling the layers of conspiracy theories that have swirled around this pivotal moment in American history. they continue to explore one of the most harrowing acts of domestic terrorism on U.S. soil, providing a critical examination of the evidence that led to McVeigh's arrest and subsequent conviction, while also questioning the narratives that have been presented to the public. The episode opens with a recap of the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more. Then a detailed account of the immediate aftermath, the rescue efforts, and the initial investigations that quickly turned the nation's attention to Timothy McVeigh, a former U.S. Army soldier with deep anti-government sentiments. As they delve into McVeigh's trial, discuss the key pieces of evidence that were brought against him, including the infamous Ryder truck, forensic findings, and the testimony of witnesses who placed McVeigh at the scene. We dissect how McVeigh was portrayed by the media and the legal strategies used by both the prosecution and defense. Throughout this examination, we maintain a critical eye on the proceedings, acknowledging the complexities of the judicial process in such a high-stakes case.

Video Version only available on Spotify and YouTube. Exploration of the Oklahoma City bombing, one of the most devastating acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. On April 19, 1995, at 9:02 a.m., a truck bomb detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children, and injuring more than 600 others. The explosion was so powerful that it destroyed the entire north side of the nine-story building, leaving a scene of utter devastation in the heart of the city. Start by recounting the events of that fateful day, providing a detailed narrative of the moments leading up to the bombing and the immediate chaos that ensued. The shock and horror of the attack reverberated across the nation, as the scale of the destruction became apparent. In the immediate aftermath, first responders and volunteers from across the region descended on the site, launching one of the largest rescue and recovery efforts in U.S. history. These efforts were marked by extraordinary acts of heroism, as firefighters, police officers, and ordinary citizens risked their lives to pull survivors from the rubble and provide medical care to the injured. Despite the dangers of unstable debris and the ever-present threat of additional explosions, these brave individuals worked around the clock in a desperate race against time. The boys move onto the swift and meticulous investigation that followed the bombing. Law enforcement agencies, led by the FBI, quickly pieced together evidence that pointed to Timothy McVeigh, a former Army soldier with ties to anti-government extremist groups. Remarkably, McVeigh was arrested just 90 minutes after the bombing—not for the attack itself, but for driving without a license plate and carrying an illegal firearm. This routine traffic stop by an alert Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer proved to be a critical turning point in the case. The episode then explores McVeigh's background, his motivations for carrying out the attack, and the ideology that fueled his actions. We discuss his subsequent trial, where he was charged with 11 federal offenses, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and the murder of federal law enforcement officers. The trial, held in 1997, captivated the nation, as the full scope of McVeigh's plan and the chilling details of his attack were revealed. Ultimately, McVeigh was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to death. This episode is the first of a two-part series, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the broader implications and controversies that arose in the aftermath of the bombing.

It's April 19th, 1995, the 220th anniversary of the start of the American War of Independence, and two years since the violent end of the Waco, Texas siege. In Oklahoma City, a disaffected army veteran named Timothy McVeigh leaves a truck outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Inside the truck is a bomb. At 9am, McVeigh lights the two minute fuse. When the bomb explodes, it kills 168 people and wounds 680 more.  In An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th, Marc Levin retraces McVeigh's footsteps, showing how he went from being a war hero to a terrorist. Rather than look at McVeigh in isolation, however, Marc places his actions in the context of the evolution of political violence in the USA. It is an evolution that continues to the present day. In this episode of Factual America, Marc and Daphne discuss the making of the film. They look at how the bombing has become an almost forgotten moment in American history, the economic and military as well as historical background to the outrage, whether McVeigh acted alone, and how views that in the 90s were regarded as being extreme have now entered the mainstream. As we head towards the 2024 US Presidential election on November 5th, An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th reflects upon the dangerous journey of American democracy and the high price Americans have had to pay for their freedoms.

AN AMERICAN BOMBING: THE ROAD TO APRIL 19TH looks at the surge in homegrown political violence through the story of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, showing the roots of anti-government sentiment and its reverberations today, along with the emotionally charged warnings of those who suffered tragic losses in the deadliest homegrown attack in U.S. history. The Oklahoma City bombing was the single, deadliest act of homegrown terrorism against the government in U.S. history. On April 19, 1995, American Timothy McVeigh ignited a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including 19 children. AN AMERICAN BOMBING: THE ROAD TO APRIL 19TH parses the details of that day, the experiences of the people who were there, the manhunt for the perpetrators, and the pivotal moments of the trials. The film also goes back in time to reveal the personal trajectory of McVeigh, his struggles after serving his country in the Gulf War and his association with pro-gun, anti-government groups. AN AMERICAN BOMBING: THE ROAD TO APRIL 19TH connects McVeigh with the ideology of a larger extremist movement that was forged in the aftermaths of the farm crisis, the Gulf War, Ruby Ridge, and Waco. The film questions the lessons learned from past acts of domestic terrorism and stands as an essential wake-up call.

On April 19, 1995—29 years ago tomorrow—at 9:02 a.m., a fertilizer truck bomb exploded outside of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, an act of domestic terrorism perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Fueled by anti-government sentiment—and specifically angered by the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, Ruby Ridge in 1992, and the Waco siege exactly two years to the day earlier in 1993—the blast killed 168 and injured 680. Prior to September 11, 2001, the bombing was the deadliest act of terrorism in U.S. history and remains to this day the deadliest act of domestic terrorism our country has ever seen. The bomb destroyed more than one-third of the building—which ultimately had to be demolished—and damaged 324 other buildings, causing an estimated $652 million in damages. Forensic evidence quickly linked McVeigh and Nichols to the bombing, and within days, both were charged. On that April 19, McVeigh detonated a Ryder truck in front of the building; Nichols had assisted with the bomb's preparation. McVeigh and Nichols had met in 1988 during basic training for the Army and were both tried and convicted in 1997; McVeigh was executed by lethal injection on June 11, 2001, and Nichols is currently serving life in prison. The victims of the bombing ranged in age from three months old to 73 years old and included three pregnant women; 19 of the victims were babies and children, many of whom were in the building's day care center. Today on the show we honor the victims of this senseless attack by talking to Jeffrey Toobin, author of the definitive book on the bombing, 2023's Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism, and the host of the excellent and brand-new podcast Homegrown: OKC. In both works, Toobin draws parallels between the Oklahoma City bombing and January 6, 2021, writing that this study of the Oklahoma City bombing is “Not just a glimpse of the past, but a warning about the future.” It's a conversation you won't want to miss.   Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism by Jeffrey Toobin Homegrown: OKC podcast

And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?” — Galatians 2:13-14 CALL OUT: Call out today to Christopher Raynolds from Kingsport, TN, who is using the tools on our website for himself and others. Way to go, brother! There are a bunch of great one-liners in this letter, and these verses contain two that are powerful: Even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews? Both of these accentuate Paul's point that even subtle acts of hypocrisy by spiritual leaders can potentially lead believers and unbelievers away from God. They will even lead sincere believers away from the truth. This is why we must keep a watchful eye on who we listen to, what we believe, and how we behave. We need to give this attention because our spiritual inconsistencies have ripples that affect the lives of others. On April 19, 1995, I was sitting in a college class, waiting for the class to begin. The professor was a little late on this day, and every student in class was watching the clock. At 9:02 am, we heard and felt it. Twelve miles from the epicenter, we felt a rush of wind and a sonic boom so loud it almost blew the hinges off the doors of the building. Timothy McVeigh ignited a bomb in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. Dozens of cars were incinerated, and more than 300 nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. The human toll was more devastating: 168 lives were lost, including 19 children, with several hundred more injured. The force of hypocrisy by a spiritual leader is much like this—surprising and devastating. No one understood this better than Paul. His former life of self-righteousness led to spiritual devastation in the lives of so many. After his conversion, he understood the damaging effects of misunderstanding the Messiah and the true Message of the Gospel. And he, like many of us, had deep regrets about his former life and the explosive effects it continue to have on the message. None of us will ever be perfect, but we can work with vigor to kill all hypocrisy that lives within our hearts. This requires daily work. Daily exposure to Scripture. Daily assessment of our motives. Daily redirection by the Holy Spirit. We aim to live in step with the Spirit and abide in the vine, which leads to Christ living in us and him having a powerful and positive effect on the lives of others, which is way better than leaving a trail and memory of devastation. #SpiritualHypocrisy #TruthoftheGospel #DailyDevotion #ChristianLiving #SelfReflection ASK THIS: How can we proactively guard against spiritual hypocrisy in our own lives, especially in our roles as leaders or influencers within our communities? In what ways can daily exposure to Scripture and intentional reflection on our motives help us align our actions more closely with the truth of the Gospel and avoid leading others astray? DO THIS: Work with vigor against spiritual hypocrisy. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to be vigilant against any traces of hypocrisy in my life, and guide me to live authentically according to the truth of your Gospel, so that I may positively impact the lives of those around me. Strengthen me daily through Your Word and Your Spirit, as I strive to reflect Your grace and truth to the world. Amen. PLAY THIS: Faithfulness.

"4:09 to 9:02" Boston To Oklahoma and New York CitiesBeyond the Bombingsby David HamelA newlywed couple were in the midst of unsuccessful fertility treatments at a nearby center during the time of the Oklahoma City bombing which occurred at 9:02 am on April 19, 1995. The personal heartbreak and simultaneous loss of 15 children at the day care center in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and its aftermath set a sorrowful resonating tone of great sadness, acceptance, and getting on with life for the veteran marathon runner and his wife. But the impact of the second aircraft at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 at 9:02:59 am assured that would not be so. That is, until the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. The clock at the finish line during the first explosion reminded him of his first marathon time of 4:09 in 1990. That "Hey You" moment coupled with the death of an eight-year-old boy near the finish line and a very close date of the Oklahoma City bombing reignited long dormant reactions and emotions of 1995 and earlier life events. Thus began a passionate journey to reclaim the Boston and Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon finish lines in 2014 and 2016.

Programming was suddenly interrupted when an inmate's radio suddenly exploded. Little did he know that he was the target of a prison gang hit. So how could such a thing happen behind the bars of a maximum security prison in Texas? I spoke with the reputed prison gang hitman while he held a hoe weeding the warden's vegetable garden at a maximum security unit in East Texas. He was never charged or convicted of carrying out hits, but he certainly had a reputation. Although he claimed to be out of the gang -- there's no such thing. It's blood in, blood out -- I asked how you could make a bomb behind bars. He grinned and slowly tilted his head down. He tapped his foot on a bag of fertilizer and said, "I knew about the explosive properties of ammonium nitrate long before those boys in Oklahoma City." He referred to Timothy McVeigh, who murdered 168 people, including 19 children, by blowing up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995.

This ‘earthquake lab' is designing buildings to withstand natural disasters

Spain's Institute of Science and Concrete Technology laboratory sits inside a cavernous, concrete hanger on the campus of Valencia's Polytechnical University. It hosts one of Europe's largest disaster simulators — all kinds of them, according to lead scientist José Adam.“Earthquakes, explosions, fire, landslides, floods,” he said. “These are the events we work on.”Adam's lab is getting attention after the deadly earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria in February, which killed at least 50,000 people. The experimental lab looks like a massive construction site. But there's some high-tech gadgetry among the pallets of building materials and the steel cabling: a hydraulic jack in one corner that can apply tons of pressure on, say, a bridge pillar; another contraption tests how well a concrete wall stands up to fire; yet another jack applies seismic pressure against a recently erected brick hut. Inside the Institute of Science and Concrete Technology, construction materials and machinery are stored everywhere. It looks like a real-life construction site.    Credit: Gerry Hadden/The World The main aim here is to make buildings more resilient by improving “continuity” — how well the different parts of a building hold together. “Continuity is a key aspect because if one of the columns collapses, the load of that column should be transferred to other elements,” Adam said.Think of a building as a group of mountain climbers all connected by a safety rope. If one climber slips, the others can collectively stop the fall and prevent the climber from sliding away. Dr. José M. Adam, chief researcher at the Institute of Science and Concrete Technology, stands next to a hydraulic jack capable of applying tons of load pressure on simulated bridges and buildings. The tests help researchers understand how structures break, which can lead to better design and building techniques. Credit: Gerry Hadden/The World Adam's team tests for continuity on full-scale buildings outside the city. On a recent afternoon, they sent in a remote-controlled forklift to deliberately punch out a column on a two-story structure. The building sagged for a second, but didn't collapse. The team of some 50 people erupted in applause.But sometimes, collapse is unavoidable, the scientist explained. Take the truck bomb that brought down a full third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1995.That tragedy was a seminal moment in structural design — the homemade bomb, he said, took out just three of the building's many columns, yet it led to structural catastrophe due to the domino effect of collapsing sections. After that, engineers came up with the idea of a so-called “last line of defense” for buildings.  Buckets of microfibers sit at the ready inside the experimental lab. The fibers are mixed with concrete to give it incredible strength and resistance.    Credit: Gerry Hadden/The World Adam is working on what is called “fuse segmentation,” essentially structural break points in the building. It's a safety measure, and works just like electrical fuses in a home. “You won't see these fuses, because they are inside the structure.”Under normal conditions, the fuses are structurally sound. But if one corner of a building begins to collapse, say, after a flash-flood, metaphorically speaking, the fuses will blow. “It breaks this segment, separating the collapsing area from the rest,” he said. “This is a smart switch device.” In other words, you can cut your losses. Almost like a lizard that can detach its own tail to escape predators.The lab is still perfecting these structural fuses, but part of their genius is that they cost virtually nothing because it does not require bringing new materials or mechanisms to the construction process.It's a matter of strategically weakening certain parts of the building, which hold up under normal conditions but collapse under high stress. “The construction sector is very conservative,” he said. “If you want to convince people to use a device, they won't pay for it.” The entrance to Valencia's Polytechnical University, home to the lab trying to make buildings and bridges more resilient to catastrophic stress. Credit: Gerry Hadden/The World Adam said he hopes this low-cost solution can be used everywhere one day, and not just in earthquake prone areas — with climate change, no building's safety is guaranteed, because no one can predict the weather.“For example, storms in places where you didn't didn't have storms in the past, or strong rainfalls or landslides in a place where maybe nothing happens now but in the future.” But no matter how good building technology gets, if contractors don't use it, then disasters like the quake in Turkey will continue to topple towers, and kill people, in large numbers.

Before there were the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, QAnon and Donald Trump, there was Timothy McVeigh. A decorated war veteran, who decided he, too, didn't trust the federal government. He decided to release his anger and frustration upon over 800 innocents by bringing down the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. This largest act of domestic terror in the history of the United States, took the lives of 168 souls, 19 of whom were children, and injured 680 others. Was McVeigh's wanton act an inspiration for the attack on the capitol on January 6th? I asked my guest today just that question. Stanley Goldman is a lawyer and teacher of law and, at the time of McVeigh's trial, was present in the courtroom as a legal reporter and analyst for Fox News.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Ken Silva of the Epoch Times joined me to discuss his reporting on the FBI's PATCON (Patriot Conspiracy) operation, which attempted to infiltrate the far-right "Patriot"/militia movement in the early 1990s, and the questions that remain about the federal handling of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building aka the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19th, 1995. Although Silva works for the admittedly very conservative Epoch Times he believes the story of PATCON should be of concern to everyone given the history of FBI operations like COINTELPRO. We discuss how the FBI set up front groups like the Veterans Aryan Movements to target militia/"Patriot" movement targets such as Tom Posey, a veteran who became radicalized after being thrown under the bus by the Reagan administration in the aftermath of Iran/Contra. We also delve into how the story of PATCON was first reported by extremism researcher J.M. Berge, then covered by a whistleblower in a heavily redacted Newsweek piece, and, rather critically, by Wend S. Painting in her book Aberration in the Heatland of the Real about Timothy McVeigh. Ken and I discuss how PATCON may have created blowback and even, potentially, contributed to aiding far-right wing activities in the lead up to the OKC bombing (PATCON was shuttered in 1993; two years before the bombing). We also dissect the rather complex story of the OKC bombing including the neo-nazi terrorist bank robbers known as the Aryan Republican Army, the private white nationalist city Elohim City and its mysterious head of security Andreas Strassmeir, the ongoing high-stakes case of Jesse Trentadue (whose brother Kenneth Michael Trentadue was founding hanging in a cell during the OKC bombing investigation) and how it relates to the case, a whistleblower who claims feds were involved in the incitement of extremist groups, Aryan Republican Army Donna Langan (formerly Peter Langan), the Wolverine Watchmen case and the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, the possibility that the OKC bombing was the result of a failed sting operation (as opposed to other, more sensational theories claiming it was an "inside job" or had Iraqi connections), Ken's recent interview with Bob Ricks (FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge during the 1993 Waco Siege and FBI Special Agent in Charge during the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing investigation), ATF informant and white supremacist Carol Howe (who claims that she informed federal authorities of plans emanating from Elohim City to attack federal buildings in the lead up to the OKC bombing), United States Attorney General Merrick Garland, PATCON as a failure at best and having led to incitement at worst, the origins of the Patriot movement, domestic spying, and much, much more.

The day this episode was published marks the 27th anniversary of the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City.  It is a date that changed the lives of so many people.  Amy Moffiet was home with my two month old son, Christian. But the family of Pastor Nick Harris, knew that their dad was across the street. We are excited to introduce a new friend of ours and survivor of that day.  Amy Moffiet was at a women's conference and met a lady who asked how she was doing.  It was shortly after Amy had lost her dad, Pastor Harris and answered honestly, that she was sad. The women expressed her empathy for Amy and she appreciated the woman spending time with her that day.The next time Amy saw Arlene,  she was speaking at a conference and shared a story about Pastor Harris.  When Arlene] connected that Amy's dad was Nick Harris, Arlene couldn't wait to tell her about the connection she had to him.See, Arlene had attended Pastor Harris's lunchtime Bible study called Loaves and Fishes.  Every Tuesday and Thursday people from the downtown area would come to First Church to have lunch and listen to a teaching by Pastor Harris.  He loved this time with these people.  They were not all people who attended his church, for some, this was their church, and he loved it!When Amy introduced Arlene to Pastor Harris's wife Crystal, she spoke these words to her, “Your husband saved my life.” Often, we never know how our lives impact that of others. Arlene shared that she had been in the building that fateful morning and survived.  She also shared that there was much more to survive in the weeks, months and years to come.  Anxiety and fear were the challenges she had to survive.She told us about a specific teaching that she recalled and held on to every time she was faced with fear and anxiety in the wake of the trauma she had endured.  That teaching became Arlene's mantra.  She also recalled how she experienced love and grace from a man who did not KNOW her but he still displayed love to her. Arlene is so much more than a survivor of the OKC Bombing in 1995.  She is a mother.  She is a child of the king. She is a woman on fire for Jesus. And she is a bearer of His Joy. I am so thankful that Pastor Harris was obedient to what Jesus asked him to do in hosting this Bible study week in and week out so that people could come to know more about relational grace. Our prayer is that we are able to continue to share this message of grace for many years to come.

On the morning of April 19, 1995, an ex-Army soldier and security guard named Timothy McVeigh parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. He was about to commit mass murder. Inside the vehicle was a powerful bomb made out of a deadly cocktail of agricultural fertilizer, diesel fuel, and other chemicals. McVeigh got out, locked the door, and headed towards his getaway car. He ignited one timed fuse, then another. At precisely 9:02 a.m., the bomb exploded. Within moments, the surrounding area looked like a war zone. A third of the building had been reduced to rubble, with many floors flattened like pancakes. Dozens of cars were incinerated and more than 300 nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. The human toll was still more devastating: 168 souls lost, including 19 children, with several hundred more injured. It was the worst act of homegrown terrorism in the nation's history.

On the morning of April 19, 1995, a former US Army soldier parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building, located in downtown Oklahoma City. Inside the truck was everything he needed to carry out his plan of terrorism and mass murder. He had a large bomb, which he created using agricultural fertilizer and some chemicals, including diesel fuel. After parking the car, he got out and walked toward his getaway car, a yellow Mercury Marquis. He ignited a timed fuse, and a second fuse as backup. Inside the building, in one of the office conference rooms, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board had just begun a 9 am meeting when the bomb exploded. The blast effect was equivalent to over 5000 pounds of TNT, and could be heard and felt 55 miles away. The blast either destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a 4-block radius. 86 cars were either burned or destroyed, and a large section of the Federal building had been reduced to rubble. News crews were shocked when they first viewed the damage from their helicopter. Inside the building, 163 people were killed. Additional casualties were one person in the nearby Athenian building, one woman in a parking lot across the street, two people in the Oklahoma Water Resources building, and a rescue worker who was struck on the head by falling debris. In total, 168 people died that day. 19 of those were children. Almost 700 other people were injured. My guest today, Amy, was in the Federal Building that morning. She worked on the third floor, at the Federal Employees Credit Union.  In this episode, you'll hear her talk about what happened to her that day.

Thriving Beyond Belief with Cheryl Scruggs

Welcome back everyone! Today on the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast is our guest, Amy Downs! Amy was a self-described lazy, college dropout. On April 19, 1995, she was working as a credit card loan officer at the Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City when she found herself buried alive, upside down, in the basement of a nine-story building. With 168 people killed and more than half of her colleagues dying from the deadliest act of domestic violence in American history, Downs was one of the last people to be pulled out of the rubble alive. Downs was pulled from the rubble six hours after the bombing took place. She is not a miracle because she survived the bombing. Rather, the transformation that took place in her life after the bombing is her miracle story. Twenty-five years later, Downs is anything but lazy – in fact, she’s the CEO of the exact same credit union that crumbled to the ground in 1995. She shares her story in her new book, Hope Is a Verb: My Journey of Impossible Transformation. Downs became a mom, went back to college, obtained her MBA, lost 200 pounds, and became an Ironman at the age of 50. It was not an overnight transformation - it was the result of hard work, determination, and a near-death scenario that prompted massive change. In the book, she draws parallels between the mental and physical strategies she had to employ to compete in the Ironman Triathlon and the same hard work that she spent working on herself in the 20 years following the bombing, which preceded the competition.

168 innocent deaths, 19 of which were children. The 26th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. The Oklahoma City bombing was a truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Wednesday, April 19, 1995. Perpetrated by anti-government extremists, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the bombing happened at 9:02 am and killed at least 168 people, injured more than 680 others, and destroyed more than one-third of the building, which had to be demolished. The blast destroyed or damaged 324 other buildings within a 16-block radius, shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings, and destroyed or burned 86 cars, causing an estimated $652 million worth of damage. Local, state, federal, and worldwide agencies engaged in extensive rescue efforts in the wake of the bombing. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) activated 11 of its Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces, consisting of 665 rescue workers who assisted in rescue and recovery operations. Until the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the United States other than the Tulsa race massacre. It remains one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. On a lighter note: Arnold Schwarzenegger tells us to "GET TO THAH CHOPPA!".

Here is a review of Garland's work in that landmark case and why it makes him the right person to serve as Attorney General and head up the investigation into the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol.  Please consider becoming a #TeamJustice patron at: https://www.patreon.com/glennkirschner My podcast, "Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner" can be downloaded where you get your podcasts.

Theodore L. Gunderson (7 November 1928 – 31 July 2011) was an American Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent In Charge and head of the Los Angeles FBI. According to his son, he worked the case of Marilyn Monroe and the John F. Kennedy cases. In a 1995 conference in Dallas, Gunderson warned about the proliferation of secret occultist groups, and the danger posed by the New World Order, an alleged shadow government that would be controlling the United States government.[8] He also claimed that a "slave auction" in which children were sold by Saudi Arabian agents to men had been held in Las Vegas, that four thousand ritual human sacrifices are performed in New York City every year, and that the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was carried out by the US government. Gunderson believed that in the United States there is a secret widespread network of groups who kidnap children and infants, and subject them to ritual abuse and subsequent human sacrifice.

On April 19th, 1995, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols conspired to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.....anti-government militant Timothy McVeigh parked a truck outside the building that was packed with explosives which he detonated before fleeing the scene. The blast and resulting building collapse killed at least 168 people and injured 680. The explosion destroyed or damaged 324 other buildings within a 16-block radius, shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings, and destroyed or burning 86 cars, causing an estimated $652 million worth of damage. until the 2001 September 11 attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack ever carried out on American soil. Most people would be appalled at such an act, but for 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold, it was the inspiration behind the mass shootings at Columbine High School. And it all took place almost to the day, four years later…Episode narrated by Top5sMusic by CO.AG________Our episodes deal with serious and often distressing cases involving serial killers.
