The Oklahoma City Bombing Explained

A word of warning: this video is graphic, and has been demonetized by KZbin. But dangit, it's just too important not to cover. Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Mr. Beat Was only 7 years old when this happen. Grew up about 3 hours south of OKC in Dallas. Got a lot of family in Oklahoma still today. One of my extended family members was about 5-10 minutes away when it happened and they were serious worries about other buildings being bombed in the area. Also, for future videos on recent US History. How about the Atlanta Olympic Bombing.

1:05 "I don't even think they should go to trial" There are threats to America that despite eclipsing the threat of terrorism are completely overlooked. Death isn't the worst consequence of terrorism; the worst consequence is the loss of freedom and the willingness for others to give up their freedom.

They told me that people never really got sad on that day. Just as in the clips you showed, a few people were dumbfounded, and most were furious.

[@GRATEFULNEIL]

They took down the video of the first responders and local news that reached the Murrah Building first. Twice during that first live news coverage the rescue effort had to be stopped as the bomb squad moved in to deal with two undetonated charges that were found set to the steel reinforced concrete columns. Retired US General Parton an expert on military explosives and their demolition capabilities of an explosion had testifying videos here on KZbin not too long ago but now I can't find them. I think they pulled them. In the videos Parton explained there had to be charges on the columns for the damage to penetrate that far into the building. They found 2 of them undetonated but the national news networks did not report it. How was than possible? Parton explains the fertilizer bomb could not have penetrated that far into the building because the pressure from the blast dramatically decreases with distance. That is why you have to have charges on the columns and most of them went off but they found 2 duds according to the video that I saw, which was stored in the cloud and now the cloud has evaporated and is gone for good, on KZbin anyway. I remember seeing the labeled bomb squad armored vehicle come in as they reported the rescue effort has been suspended until they remove the bomb. After all clear, a few minutes later they said they just found a second bomb and it is bigger than the first! Again in comes the bomb squad and it is documented evidence. How could all this could run on a local news TV station and be buried by the national news media when it is evidence of wrongdoing is unbelievably EVIL! They just reported finding two bombs that did not go off and that information is deliberately removed. The news that was reported committed a fraud. Whoever was involved in making it happen committed murder. It is evil and it is hiding the truth. I am sure there are many other people to blame than the guy that took all of the blame for them. I doubt it it was Timothy that set all those charges on all those columns. Like 911 it was an inside job involving our corrupt FBI & CIA that are working to take America down. False flag attacks are one of their favorites because they are masters of deception because they are following the master of deception, Lucifer. I have to keep reminding myself God is in control but I know it is evil we are fighting.

I'm surprised that you left out the "John Doe Number 2" mugshot of the guy in the hat that also circulated around with McVeigh's. To this day, nobody is sure who that guy was.

[@iammrbeat]

Are you talking about the guy with McVeigh at car rental place and hotel? If so, their sketch was wrong. It depicted a guy who had actually arrived at the car rental place the day before who wrongly was associated with McVeigh. Now, as I referenced in the video, others were likely involved who got away clean, and we might ever not know who they are.

[@aylmer666]

I remember pretty clearly at the time that there were two sketches of the guy widely circulated (one from the front and one profile). I hadn't heard they came in on separate days before, but you're probably right. Some book came out a few years ago naming the guy as Juan Carlos Parraga who lived in Kingman, Arizona at the same time McVeigh did. It's an interesting theory that the two might have worked together but at this point how could anything ever be proven? Regardless there certainly were many more people in on the bombing that never faced justice. Similarly with 9/11 there were certainly others who aided the terrorists (like the people who owned the home in Florida where the terrorists based their operation, who conveniently fled the country just prior to the attacks and were never heard from again).

Just a few points 1) the amount of ANFO said to have been present in the Ryder truck is similar to the volume used in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. 2) press conferences held by the sheriff’s office indicated rescue operations had to be stopped to allow for the removal of two “additional” explosive devices found attached to support columns 3) munitions experts agree that the truck was not big enough to hold enough ANFO to create that much damage, and that demolition charges placed onto the support columns are more likely 4) no BATFE agents reported to work that morning and none were injured in the bombing, indicating they had advanced knowledge that the building was going to be “attacked” 5) McVeigh was likely involved, but on behalf of a government alphabet agency. He washed out of Special Forces selection and “left” the army, then started showing up within anti-government groups urging them to blow something up. This is typical of an individual that has been sheep dipped from the military and transferred to work undercover for the CIA, FBI, or ATF. There were previously a significant number of videos presenting evidence of government malfeasance in relation to OKC on KZbin. Now, nearly all videos relating to the bombing include a link to an Encyclopedia Britannica article and contradictory videos appear to have been removed.

The museum (in the building now) was one of the most impressive I have seen. Others that I recommend and let you experience an event like it were: 1. Museum of the great plains, Lawton also in OK (experience a tornado) 2. Earthquake museum in Kobe, Japan 3. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (atom-bomb)

[@conzmoleman]

I urge everyone to read Aberration and the Heartland of the Real: “The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh” by Dr. Wendy Painting. It is by far the most insightful and exhaustive account of this case. She also uncovered many government documents that have never been seen before and provides them in the text. It’s an absolute must read.

[@dennismoore4219]

It's a day I'll never forget, I grew up 10 minutes from downtown Oklahoma City. I was in first grade and it felt like an earthquake. I remember that all of the school events were cancelled and they wouldn't let anyone leave or into the school. I didn't find out what happened until I got home from school.

[@bryanamaro1209]

Hey man, your face looks a little stressed, I don't know if that's just me. I've gotten really interested in your videos this year since I started taking an advanced government class. Anyways take care.

7:41 says it very nicely. This is also the only video I've found that connects the dots as him targeting the ATF. All the news clips and other videos I've seen fail to mention that. I would like to see the ATF dismantled from the top down but until then it seems like the old African proverb, "When the elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers"

I hope people don’t let this cowardly attack distract from the evil atrocity the Waco siege truly was.

[@ianvelarde8517]

His primary motive was because of Waco if I remember correctly.

[@NicholasOrlick]

Atrocity? A bit hyperbolic. Steven Koresh could’ve surrendered and not had his people douse themselves with lighter fluid. Moreover the ATF had a reason to raid the compound.

I'm from okc. I was only a month shy of my second birthday so I don't remember it myself. But my parents who lived 8 miles away from the Murrah Building said that their screen door blew open. I have met people my age who lost family and every year we would have a field trip to the memorial. They have a tour which includes in the beginning a tape recorded of an office meeting in the building that starts out normal and mundane and is interrupted by an enormous explosion. My mom named my little sister after Baylee Almon. I cry every time I watch a video like this. RIP to all of the the people who lost their lives unexpectedly and so tragically.

You missed the part about why none of the ATF workers didn't show up to work that day.

[@bobbyferg9173]

Reading about the Ruby Red and Waco siege makes them seem like less of a siege and more like a massacre. In both instances the government was responsible for the death on innocent civilians and children through some incredibly reckless means. Agencies like the ATF heavily involved in such raids and even began the Waco raid. Such instances are of course no justification for killing civilians on your own, because you would stoop as low as these institutions. It still does make you feel as though agencies like the ATF can’t really justify their existence in light of such negligence and abuse of power.

[@iammrbeat]

Definitely, and I plan on making videos in the future about both those events.

Another great video!

[@ThugShakers4Christ]

I really hope you do better coverage of this for your students. You really should have explained more about how the militia movement worked, what happened at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and the Turner Diaries.

[@iammrbeat]

There is a great documentary on Netflix about all that that goes in more depth. This video is meant to be a brief explainer. To be honest, I didn't even at first want to bring up the people who orchestrated the OKC bombing much or their motives, but ultimately I decided to since I want to show how humans who do horrible things justify their beliefs.

[@rachelwyrick5300]

Maybe do an in depth video on Terrance Yeaky. Or countless others like him. In order to educate people on a historic event, you need to be fully educated yourself. You have put together a great video. It’s just lacking pertinent information. You’re basically reiterating the “approved” narrative. This tragedy, and others like it, are so much more than what the MSM and the politicians would want people to know.

[@evanquinn6092]

In my materials class we used this attack for an example in concrete design. After the bomb went off, some of the concrete beams were forced into torsion or twisting which they’re not supposed to do and failed. Regulations were changed to make concrete structures take these forces.

[@petercarioscia9189]

I really thought the thumbnail was an edgey joke, "OKC BOOMER" with the blown up OKC building in the background

That would have certainly been provocative.

Cover the UNA bomber! Greetings from the Netherlands, really been enjoying your work

[@montydaniels1054]

There's a lot more to this story. McVeigh didn't pick the day, 4-19-1995 (Original Patriots Day) The Intelligence Apparatus in our country planned this event. As for the people that wired the building, they did one hell of a sloppy job doing it. Only 5 or 6 out of the 9 or 10 bombs that were planted in that building went off. That is why only the front Columns were blown out, along with 1 column on the inside. That's the only way to explain how pieces of concrete were able to do all the damage to the Regency Tower Apartment Building, which was about 700 feet down the street from the Murrah Building.... All I ended up seeing, when I was down there was what was left of the debris which was being loaded out from the site. I was in the demolition field for 30 years. What scares me is, the men that murdered Officer Terry Yeakey a year after the event, are still out there somewhere. Love My Country But Fear My Government.....
