Oklahoma was forever changed on April 19, 1995, when 168 people were killed when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown OKC was bombed. The bombing was the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in American history. Of the 168 killed, 19 were children. The site where the Murrah Building once stood has since been turned into the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum, highlighted by 168 chairs that sit empty overlooking a reflecting pool. Each chair represents and bears the names of each of the victims killed in 1995. Scroll through the interactive graphic below to learn more about the victims.
