Oklahoma City Reflects 30 Years After Bombing

Thirty years after the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, the community reflects on the tragedy that killed 168 people and profoundly impacted countless others. Survivors like Diane Dooley recount harrowing escapes from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, while families such as the Coverdales faced the anguish of missing loved ones. The initial chaos and heroism of emergency responders were captured on newspaper front pages across the nation, as the city began its journey of healing and rebuilding. To commemorate this solemn anniversary, The Oklahoman has published a hardcover book, 'Tragedy to Triumph,' detailing Oklahoma City's transformation and resilience. This period of remembrance serves both as a tribute to the victims and a celebration of the city's enduring spirit. The events and aftermath remain a poignant chapter in American history, highlighting both the horror of domestic terrorism and the strength found in communal recovery.
