My respect to the survivors and to the surviving family members.

(182,829 posts)Going to an Econ test. A group of us left the student commons and on a wall mounted TV I saw the picture. I'm in total tunnel vision at this point. I thought it was just the glass blown out.
That night I turned on the news and saw the depth of the explosion. I was in shock.
The thing that gets me is McVeigh. Our lives were a parallel. Similar backgrounds and basically the same job in the Army - gunner on a Bradley Fighting vehicle. He was Infantry - I was Cav. He took a horrible turn in his life.
