As far as the Devon tower goes it was built during the great recession. Many naysayers around the country swore it wouldn't be built because they couldn't get financing for it. The only problem with that theory is it didn't need financing they built it with cash they had. It is 75 ft shorter than planned it was meant to be 925ft they modified it to its present 850ft. The statue on the capital is called The guardian. My memory of the bombing was the shock wave opening then closing the doors of the building I worked at 12 miles north. My mom said her house 35 miles away shook. The worst memory was finding out one of my customers lost her husband an FBI agent leaving her with 4 sons to raise the oldest a month from graduating.

First let me wish you both a very Merry Christmas.
Watching your video tonight brings back so many sad memories of the day in history.
It’s good to visit places like that memorial, it helps us reflect. I know I’m not an American but have American family members and we mourn to when horrible events affect your great nation.
I live only a hour drive to Buffalo NY and have spent a great deal of time in your country and love it dearly.
You’re wonderful journey is making me want to travel to so many more places in the USA.
I hope 2022 brings so much more epic travels and adventures for you both.
Beautiful city to.
Merry Christmas

I'm kinda confused by Oklahoma. I know that it was originally created as an a big Indian Reservation and it was at the end of the Trail Of Tears. After that, my history books had other things to talk about, as there are only so many hours in the day. What happened
7: 19. And no sooner than I finished typing the above text out, than you answered my question.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!

The Devon tower omg it reminds me of the shape of the Popes hat the fish which is Dagon, the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians! However, the city is beautiful and one of the cleanest cities I’ve seen in a long time. Keep it up okies we will see you at the red river rival!

I love visiting Oklahoma City. The river walk is gorgeous at night - lots of interesting activities to do with family and friends. There is also a small replica of a beach downtown too. The diversity of food is absolutely great too. Can’t wait to go back

The song playing at 17: 30 near the memorial is Finlandia hymn by Jean Sibelius, the unofficial national anthem of Finland. Americans might know it as Be still my soul but the original name is Finlandia hymn (it's part of a larger composition.

Where the state capitol stands now, was once my great grand fathers farm. He won the land in one of the land rushes. One of my cousins was involved in the explosion, he was working in one of the nearby banks.

Just watched the video in Oklahoma City. I worked at that building in the mid 90's. I also lived west of downtown when the Federal building was bombed (still get anxious when I hear a loud boom.

Tim Mc didn’t bomb the Murray Building. A retired FBI SA special investigator said TM wasn’t intelligent enough to build the detonator. It was more sophisticated than his mental capacity.

Thanks for visiting my place! Too many people think that Oklahoma has nothing to show or do. We don't have a Pro Football team or major league ball team. So, go to Texas.

Just an FYI: at 12: 00 yo mention seeing up into the rotunda. You are actually looking up into the dome and cupola. The rotunda is the room you are standing in.

Right wing, talk radio, opiate addict, Rush Limbaugh was responsible for the bombing. He constantly preached that government employees were the enemy.

If you lay on your back directly below those Rotundas, I bet you can get a neat picture to crop into a square.
