Oklahoma City After the Bomb

Here's How the Story Ends

Available for over a year

Emma Barnett explores what happened in Oklahoma City after the devastating 1995 bomb. Travelling to the city, Emma speaks to survivors of the bombing, to relatives of the 168 people who died that day, to those who rushed in to help and to those whose job was to rebuild the city, about what happened after 9.02am on 19th April, 1995. She explores how the attack affected tens of thousands of people's lives and forever changed the face of this city; she investigates how the city used the horror to transform itself physically and psychologically; she hears how some whose lives were turned upside down by the bombing feel let down by the federal government's response; and she asks what Oklahoma City might have to teach the rest of America, and all of us, about civility and compromise. Producer: Giles Edwards.
