Thirty years ago, on the morning of April 19, 1995, a powerful bomb exploded at the entrance of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children, and injuring approximately 850. Perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh, a Gulf War veteran, the bombing remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.
FBI Special Agent Barry Black was one of the first responders at the scene and led investigations with the OKBOMB Task Force, including seizing McVeigh’s getaway vehicle and helping to identify victims. Barry Black will share his firsthand account of that day’s events, detail his role in the investigation, and examine the impact of domestic terrorism in the years since the attack.
