I will be posting general photos from trips I take here.

First one:
The former World's Largest McDonald's in Vinita, Oklahoma. The newest largest one is in Florida.

On April 19, 1995, at 9:02am CDT, a Ryder rental truck full of fertilizer and several other elements driven by Timothy McVeigh exploded in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The blast killed 168 people, with around 20-30 being children in a daycare in the basement level of the building. McVeigh was caught around 2 hours later during a traffic stop, but it wasn't known it was him who did it until later. He was executed on June 11, 2001, at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. It remains the worst act of domestic terrorism in the USA, and was the worst act of terrorism in the US altogether until September 11, 2001.

These are some pictures of a memorial they built on the site of the building that I took.

The memorial museum, in the old newspaper building which was heavily damaged in the bombing.

Spoiler

The Survivor Tree, which was a tree that survived the blast even though the blast was equal to 4,000 pounds of TNT.

Spoiler

Several rows of chairs, each chair representing 1 death in the tragedy.

The 9:01 gate, representing when the Ryder truck was driven up next to the building and set off.

The 9:03 gate, representing when the bomb went off destroying most of the building.

Hi, I'm AnimeGamer321 aka SimGamer321. I also go by my name, Nicholas, but prefer it as being called by my username sounds weird to me. I have never played Kingdom Hearts before but know of the characters, and I think Demyx has a cool design. My username obviously means I'm a gamer, but to be honest I'm more into simulation games like SimCity. I live in the United States, I am 16 turning 17 this year, and I am a sophomore in high school. I am also into computer/IT stuff, I am currently setting up a Linux server for my sim game website. Linux is not easy depending on your comfort level with computers LOL. Anyways, thanks for reading my intro. :)
