i thought, did that mean oklahoma city? was he foreshadowing?> after camping in his car outside the branch davidian compound for a few days, mcveigh drives to terry nichols' farm in northern michigan. >> in less than an hour, the compound that had fascinated the world for 51 days was a raging inferno. >> on april 19th, 1993, mcveigh and nichols watched the violent end of the waco siege on television. >> watching flames lick out windows, and i'm watching tanks ram walls, and my eyes just welled up in tears, and tears started coming down my cheeks, and i'm watching this scene unfold, just stood there in stunned silence. what is this? what has america become? i just remember that scene. it burned into my memory. i'm emotional right now as i talk about it. you know, i felt absolute rage. >> tim saw this as an act of war against the people. >> the rules of engagement if not written down are defined by the acts of the aggressor. now, what rules of engagement would you interpret in examining waco? kids are fair game? women are fair game? >> i think tha

certainly, tim mcveigh is beyond the ability to relate. >> published report says oklahoma city bombingor terry nichols admitted last year to his role in the bombing. >> it was a confession. he wanted to avoid the death penalty here in oklahoma. nobody knew about it until well after the trial. he admitted in this that he was involved in the buying of the materials, that he helped build the bomb, even siphoning diesel fuel out of his own truck when they ran out of racing fuel. it was, i did this, i did that, i was involved in the actual making. prosecutors asked him if he knew of anybody else involved and he said he did not. >> this act of terrorism, the snuffing out of lives, was an unimaginable slap in the face. and the slap was, this can happen. this did happen. regrettably, possibly, this can happen again. >> we had some kind of explosion downtown. >>> when we come back, nearly two decades later, how people are coping. >> i believe you never heal from something like this.

just like the murray building in oklahoma city." of course referring to the building, the federal building that was bombed, that was destroyed in a major way by that explosion in oklahoma city. and so this gentleman at least is comparing the plant explosion there in west texas to the explosion in oklahoma city. our affiliate kxas has reported that there are hundreds of injured. at least 200 injured. at least 40 in critical condition. we are hearing that area hospitals are receiving patients, that several are being treated for burns. they're treating burn victims, which again would be consistent with the nature of this accident. a massive fertilizer plant explosion. now, that explosion took place reportedly just before 8:00 p.m. this evening local time. there was a fire burning at the time that the explosion took place, and so firefighters were on the scene battling that blaze at the time of the explosion. there are of course a lot of concerns about the fate of those firefighters at this time given that they were on scene at the time

the man who carried out the bombing in oklahoma city back in 1995. that attack left 168 people dead, many of them children. as ktvu's randy shandobil reported, as mcvay was put to death, the families of the victims watched as he was executed. >> reporter: government officials led oklahoma city bomber timothy mcvay into the execution chamber. prison officials say he was quiet and cooperative. even seating him on the gurney, positions body so that officials could strap him down then inject him. >> timothy mcvay has been executed by lethal injection. he was pronounced dead on april 17. >> reporter: 24 people respecting mcvay, the media and the victim's fathers -- victim's families and media witnessed it firsthand. >> reporter: instead of saying anything, mcvay had officials distribute a handwritten copy of a defiant poem written in 1875 called invictus. it ends, i am the author of my fate, i am the captain of my soul. >> he took the time to look up and look at each of us in the eye and there was almost a sense of pride as he nodded his head. layed back

i want to begin with the scene of this truck in oklahoma city.e can now tell you according to oklahoma city police that situation is clear right now. so it's clear, you see the truck, they were checking it out, with the oklahoma city bombing anniversary this week, and everything that happened here, there is absolute reason to be very, very cautious. >> and we just learned at the white house there was a suspicious letter addressed to president obama. the letter was connected somehow to the one that went to the senate. i'm going to dana bash with the latest on this update. >> yes, the letter they tried to get to president obama, very similar identifying characteristics that tried to get to senator roger wicker of mississippi. and we know in the case of senator wicker, this letter tested an initial positive, and one more reliable positive test at a lab that makes senate officials and law enforcement officials feel confident enough it is the deadly y poison ricin. so their also taking other precautions. i can tell you the reason i'm talking slowly is

, the terrorism institute for in oklahoma city. i think the boston pd is extr e extremely well led and very sophisticated. the fbi has a field office in boston. you couldn't have a better law enforcement investigative community there. obviously, the good thing and i think mr. van zandt focused on it, is the fact that you had an opportunity hopefully to observe a lot of things a as a result of cameras. that comment about the bomb dogs coming in apparently before the placement of these devices. if each of them are 20 pounds apiece, that's a pretty burly person could handle that. may have been two people like tim mcveigh and one of his associates in oak city. they need a lucky break. state trooper who saw that broken license plate, but we've got to get to the bottom of it. we will and whoever's responsible will be tried and convicted and i think mercifully, hopefully, if they are responsible for this horrific act, will be executed d as we did tim mcveigh. >> do you think as clint just sukted, this may well will a timothy mcveigh type?

oklahoma city was up by as many as 26 points in this game.uston did manage to rally back, but watch this shot by durant. it's a lucky shot. oh, goes in right there. that gives them the one-point lead which gives them the lead for the rest of the night, i should say, and they would go on to win. oklahoma city goes up in the series three games to none over houston. >> now, usc quarterback matt barkley finally came off the draft boards yesterday. he went in the fourth round to the philadelphia eagles. that fourth round pick is a far cry from where he was projected to go in last year' draft. some say he would have been a top ten pick if he had gone into the nfl, but instead, of course, he chose to stay at usc for his senior season, which was an average season at best. factor in that shoulder injury and his draft stock plummeted. he went from a first-round pick to a fourth-round pick which cost him at least $10 million. after three days, seven rounds, and 254 picks, the nfl draft is over. and it ended where it has since 1976, with mr. irrelevant.

person had got on a plane in oklahoma city and flying out of the country. part of the fbi, we were trying to figure out who the person was, get the plane stopped, though there were those of us who strongly felt it was going to a domestic incident. we didn't lock on one or the other. we looked at all of those options until we were able to close in on one. that's what the authorities are doing right now. again, you've got every federal agency, fbi, cia, and others, state agencies. they will be looking at every bit of intelligence. they will be looking at internet and television traffic. they will be doing everything they can to say, does this have an overseas component or strictly a u.s. component? >> right. and i agree with that. i think we're all going to be doing our own kind of profiling trying to figure this thing out. i also think -- i had this tremendous political memory. i remember was john f. kennedy was killed and a cbs correspondent said i hope the right wing has its pound of flesh. it was lee harvey oswald who did the shooting and that was not exa

some lawmakers say the same federal law that allowed oklahoma city bombing suspect timothy mcveigh tohould be used against tsarnaev. let's explore any possible comparisons between mcveigh's legal plight and what this young man may face. timothy mcveigh's attorney joins me live from houston and then larry mackey. he is the man who prosecuted timothy mcveigh and co-conspirator terry nichols. he joins me live from indianapolis tonight. do you see any possible similarities in the mcveigh case and tsarnaev might face? >> i certainly do. i think it's very likely that federal prosecutors in boston will use the same statute, and that is one that prohibits the use of a weapon of mass destruction. that statute has application here, and as i said, i'd be surprise federal they don't bring that same charge. >> chris, mcveigh was days away from his 27th birthday when the oklahoma city bombing happened, and dzhokhar tsarnaev is 19 years old. would his youth be a factor in a potential federal case against him? >> well, youth will be a mitigating factor at sentencing, i think, should he be convicted o

looking for their 12th win in a row in oklahoma city against the thunder, playoff atmosphere in oklahomay, second quarter, consider mellow anthony for the three, on fire lately. he's healthy. knicks took a nine-point lead, thunder make a comeback. russell westbrook with a steal, coast-to-coast for the layup, one minute left, felton slips and pushes the ball and an amazing assist, j.r. smith with the off-balanced three. he's hitting shots like that, hard to beat the knicks. they win on the road for their 12th win in a row, 125-120. >>> to baseball, red sox and blue janes, reigning cy young award winner r.a. dickey, this is third baseman will middlebrooks, 24. remember this name, opposite field. middlebrook. look again. this time a deep, wow, upper deck solo shot. and then discuss for the fun of it, anyone ever hit three home runs in one game? third baseman middlebrooks has. big one to win, 13-0. red sox, not a bad tastart to e season. >>> angels and rangers faced off in arlington. no love for former outfielder josh hamilton. listen to those boos. maybe he should have tried for that ball i

the event honors victims of the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. >> prior to our start, we ask you now for 168 seconds of silence, please. >> event organizers invited runners who could not finish in boston due to the attacks. many of the 23,000 runners wore red socks to honor the boston victims. >>> we've learned tonight that president barack obama is going to name charlotte mayor anthony fox to be the next transportation officials tell cnn that fox is the president's choice to succeed ray lahood. >>> a mississippi man suspected of sending letters tainted with ricin to president obama and others faces his first federal court appearance tomorrow. 41-year-old james dutschke was arrested yesterday and charged with possession and use of a another man, paul arrested earlier but charges werertis an elvis impersonator ramed by dutske following a long standing feud. >>> flash flooding causing misery in parts of texas. a storm roared through yesterday dumping 8 inches of rain in some areas. fire crews had to rescue 150 drivers from hwaters. at the height of

of ammonia-based fertilizer that was used in the oklahoma city bombing. >> interesting note. the oklahoma city bombing, the 18-year anniversary is friday. >> also the same week as the waco, texas, branch davidian situation. waco is about 20 minutes from west texas. some interesting, strange coincidences. >> coincidences right now. nothing that we can say is connected and hundreds of first responders from all over texas did rush to help, and we have abc's jim ryan among the first to arrive at the scene. jim, describe what you're seeing. >> reporter: well, it's obviously dark and it's dusty and it's not smoky anymore. it was smoky earlier. of course, the wind is blowing in the opposite direction toward the plant and that's good news. it's blowing north, which is away from populated areas. if it shifts around to the south, as forecasters say it might, then that could cause problems down south of here, but the hope is that the flames inside the factory will die down and up and the firefighters can get in there. so far they haven't been able to because of concerns of a tank inside

but the trial is going to be as difficult, i believe, as the oklahoma city bombing. when you have to get in and get experts and bombing experts and people to help you learn how to blow up a bomb, build a bomb and clean up a bomb, that takes an extensive amount of time and a lot of expertise. whoever ends up defending this man is going to need a lot of help with investigators and with experts and a pretty good team of lawyers around them to get a case this size put together. >> likely it will be a public defender so one has to wonder, even though he's intubated right now and the miranda rights issue still has not been resolved, is it your feeling that there is a public defender already waiting in the wings, already getting familiarized with this case, already assigned to this case? >> well, there's no way for me to know that. typically speaking the judge who ends up with the case is the one who makes the assignment. i don't know if it will be a federal public defender or if it will be someone who was like me who was just called and asked to take on the case. either wa

in oklahoma city. truck bomb filled with explosives killed 168 people. injured hundreds of people. the oklahoma city bombing was on the anniversary of the raid on the branch dividian compound in waco, texas. the agency had offices in the oklahoma city building. and at first, after the oklahoma city bomb, there was speculation there maybe was some direct connection between those two even events, maybe it had been branch dividian survivors who carried out that bombing. that was not correct. fbi agents search eed furiously for a suspect, the guy responsible for that attack, timothy mcveigh, was sitting in a jail cell. he left the scene of the i attack, pulled over by a police officer because the vehicle he was driving was missing a license's plate. police officer arrested him for carrying a concealed weapon and ultimately the fbi arrested him for killing 168 people in the federal building explosion. 1995 the unabomber struck again, killed a man in sacramento, california. it was another year before the fbi

much the thing to answer your question the big problem in the united states as we saw after the oklahoma city bombing in one thousand nine hundred five which was carried out by white supremacists or the september eleventh attacks that two things tend to happen one is that there is a tendency to denigrate and weaken the civil liberties and civil rights in the name of protecting the american people in the name of pursuing security there has been a severe denigration of civil rights and civil liberties and the egg ation of power by federal government authorities and by law enforcement against individuals the second thing happens is the targeting of particular communities particularly muslim and arab communities in one thousand nine hundred five after oklahoma city bombing it was arabs and muslims and iranians who were being rounded up even though it was white men who were part of a white supremacist group so we see these two dangerous trends that have happened repeatedly after terrorist attacks and so of course that's something that we're looking for right now and those measures haven't stopped

worth airport, oklahoma city, tulsa and kansas city could deal with storms later today with travel implications. the big story is, though, today is one of our first dangerous days. we'll possibly see a little mini-tornado outbreak. this is right through the heart of tornado alley, the one spot they're most prepared for these storms rolling late today into the evening. during the overnight hours from oklahoma city to tulsa down to wichita falls. that will be the big story tomorrow morning we'll be covering any damage that does occur later tonight. for areas of the west you're just cold back behind the storm system. not as windy but we're dealing with most of the rain and snow leaving. it's still snowing a little. even the high elevations outside of tucson. quite a storm system that's exiting the west. that's a look at your national e cold air on the backside of our storm. >>> looks like we're going to get some rain in the next 48 hours in the northwest, but nothing like this storm that just blew through. >> 80s or 90s coming up for the northeast? >> it's going to be 80 today in new york city. >>

they think about 9-11 in new york, oklahoma city, and oklahoma, or any other attack in the past.realize and many of us may not know that, but the number of global attacks are way down when you compare it to 30 or 40 years ago. the fox report's jonathan hunt is here with more on that. we hear about the threats all the time. but the facts show that we are more safe than before. explain that. >> yeah. the worst attack we've gone through since 9-11 was actually the fort hood shooting in 2009, 13 people killed there. boston stands out because it is, in fact, among the highest casualties with three dead and 176 wounded in that attack. other than that, 9-11, of course, then you have the 1993 world trade center attack, the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. but other than that, as i said, relatively safe. much better than the 1970s, for instance, when there were far more global terrorist attacks. experts say part of the reason is because law enforcement, very simply in cities like new york city, have become much better since 9-11 at stopping these things. listen. >> since 9-11, new york has bee

i saw the memorial again, it's a very somber but beautiful place and everyone i talked to in oklahoma city bombing was it made the city more compassionate. it united people in a way that they could not have anticipated at the time and ironically, oklahoma city was scheduled to have a memorial marathon next week on the 19th, another patriots date, by the way, but now they're reevaluating all that and on our website expressing their solidarity with boston. so we're united, unfortunately, by these acts of violence, whether it's mass shootings or these random, terrifying bombs. >> and you mentioned the significance of this date. one does not have to look far to see examples that happened of significance this week. it was patriots day in boston with the opening of the american revolution and unfortunately, we've seen acts of violence during this week as well. >> we have and we don't know whether that was just a coincidence or not, the virginia tech shooting took place in mid-april, way dough was in mid-april, was that just an accident of the calendar or was that part of the deliberate pattern.

oklahoma city was in april, 1995. leaving the oddity of those date as i side, what do you think of who perpetrates something like this and where they're coming from? >> well, never know. you don't know if this international in scope, domestic, but this is something that the authorities have to work hard and try to find out who is behind these situations, and i have confidence in our state, local, federal law enforcement, that they'll get to the bottom of this. >> you know, sheriff, you have got an lot of heat and a lot of controversy and i suspect the reason why you get bombs mailed to you, because of your crackdown on the border, and this sort of will tighten up security here. what do you think about our security right now period? >> it should be tightened up. they're trying to do a good job at the border. you can never secure the border completely. i have five threats to hit me with cartels. the latest one last week so maybe being high profile from washington to maricopa county with certain groups that don't like th
