verso, printed in black ink: [barcode] / Magnum Photos Inc. (c) 1995 Bruce Davidson / VICTIMS & SURVIVORS OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING / An empty lot where the Alfred P. Murrah building once stood is the only reminder of the most devastating terrorist attack in the United States history. On April 19, 1995, a truck loaded with explosives destroyed nearly half of the federal building, killing 168 people, including 19 children in a first floor day care center. The devastation in human terms and the extent of the physical damage has left an indelible mark on the city. Many survivors and witnesses say that the bombing has altered the psyche of all who were connected with the rescue effort, and the cost of the damage ($652 million) has easily surpassed the World Trade Center bombing. The bombing has sparked debate in the White House, the United States Congress and the American public, leading many to question how best to combat this type of terrorism and its deadly consequences. / DAB95004W001/0 SOC 18DAB004+001 D95-560/01 / Oklahoma City, OK, 1995. Flowers, flags, and notes for victims and survivors of bombing, hang from fence, where Alfred P. Murrah building once stood. / [barcode] [label]
