Oklahoma City Bombing My Story

I’m going to start a series of photo’s for you showing the Oklahoma City bombing these are pictures that have been giving to me over the past few years!

At the time of the bombing I lived on the 18th floor apartment 1813 ironically the same address of the house I lived in during my high school years.
