'We will not forget': remembering the morning of April 19th & the events that followed

It's been 30 years since the bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which marked the deadliest domestic attack in U.S. history.

News On 6 took a look back on the morning of April 19, 1995 and everything else that followed.

9:02 a.m. A truck bomb exploded, killing 168 people and injuring 850 others.

Among the victims, 19 children staying at the building's daycare were killed.

What was inside of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building?

The building was home to several government agencies: the Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Social Security Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Ties to 1993 Waco Siege

The FBI found both convicted bombers, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, had ties to anti-government militia groups and chose to attack on the anniversary of the 1993 Waco Siege, which was a nearly two-month-long standoff between a religious group and the federal government.

The arrest & conviction of McVeigh & Nichols

McVeigh was found and arrested at a traffic stop two days after the bombing.

On the same day, authorities arrested Terry Nichols for his involvement.

McVeigh was sentenced to death by lethal injection in 1997. He was executed in 2001.

Nichols was sentenced in 1998, and is currently serving life in prison without parole.

We Remember: 30 years later

On Saturday, loved ones of the victims and people from across the country were in Oklahoma City for the annual remembrance ceremony.

Former President Bill Clinton was there alongside state leaders, and spoke about the spirit of Oklahomans.

"The domestic terrorists who did this awful thing believed that it would spark a nationwide upheaval against the American government," Clinton said.

"Instead, you gave them, as the mayor said so eloquently, the Oklahoma standard," he said.

US Sen. James Lankford also spoke at the ceremony, emphasizing the importance of remembering what happened.

"Let's set the example for the rest of the nation. Let's tell them our story again, so that the nation doesn't forget," Lankford said.

"Let's remind each other of dark days in the past and how God walks with us through those dark days, even in the valley of the shadow. God does not forget us, and we will not forget," he said.
