Oklahoma City Bombing of the Murrah Federal Building

I got to visit the OK. City bombing Memorial site during my visit to Oklahoma.... Very beautiful at night, everything was illuminated with soft lighting.

This was the area you saw once you walked through the doorway of the wall standing. We came in on the other side which looks just like the one you see below. The water was 1 inch deep and illuminated the area very nicely.






This was the field of chairs that represented the people who lost their lives during the bombing, each chair had their name on it. The small ones were for the children and the large ones were for the adults. The chairs are where the building once stood.




This was part of the wall that survived the bombing.




The building in the background is the museum for the memorial site. The tree you see surrounded by the block wall is called the "Survivor Tree" it was just about destroyed and the Elm survived the bombing.




And Jesus Wept statue is outside the building across the street on the corner. He was also soft illuminated with lighting.
