Anti-government extremist Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb outside the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. McVeigh and his three accomplices (Terry Nichols, Michael Fortier, and Lori Fortier) were far-right militia sympathizers angered by federal law enforcement standoffs with cult members in Ruby Ridge, ID (1992) and Waco, TX (1993). The bomb, built with 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer (a common material for homemade bombs) and diesel fuel, was placed in a rental truck and triggered by a series of time-delay fuses, and went off at 9:02am.

The bomb caused $652 million worth of damage and killed 168 people, including 19 children under the age of 6, who were attending the Murrah Building's daycare. Nearly 700 people were injured.
