This is a photo I took some years later on a visit to the site. If you ever go to the memorial you’ll see two gold walls on each end of the memorial one with 9:01 and the other with 9:03 writing at the top of each wall, What this represents is between the walls is 9:02 which was when the bomb went off. So, in the middle is where time stopped hence 9:02.

Oklahoma City Fire Department’s ladder truck moving into position, this photo is from the West looking East.

Obviously heavy equipment was needed for the removal of debris! This is a track hoe with a grappler and what it does is grab large chunks of cement, rebar, rocks etc. it has the ability to move 360 degrees in full circle. In other words it can pick up an object that is in front of it, circle around and drop it directly behind itself.
