    I ask of my fellow Bills fans a Sincere favor.

    On the morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh parked a rented Ryder truck with explosives in front of the complex and, at 9:02am, a massive explosion occurred which sheared the entire north side of the building, killing 168 people. Included were 19 children in a day care center located in the building.

    I ask that at 9:02 CST you take a second and remember those people and their families. I have made this request here because this is the board most visited. I hope the mods will leave it up until tomorrow.

    Thanks.

    Peace.

    We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever.

      Yeah the moron during an interview in Jail says 'I'm a Bills fan'. Oh yeah, I didn't catch any hell for that one....

        I agree. We should remember Oklahoma City just like we do 9/11. Domestic terrorism which takes innocent lives is just as bad as the foreign kind.
        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

              Yessir. We tend to forget about Okla City in the wake of 9/11. that is unacceptable.
              Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

                ...and sadly, the lesson is that there really isn't much prevention if the terrorist keeps his mouth shut.

                  I was in 9th grade about an hour away from Oklahoma City. My baseball coaches wife was severely injured in the bombing. A day every year I remember.

                    Dude! This and then Katrina. Could you possibly NOT come to the opener? I think you're bad luck.

                        Well, as long as you don't decide to move to Buffalo. I'm SURE the Bills would move then.

                          Please avoid Buffalo every January and February...we get enough snow already.

                              my dad being a federal emplyee in atlanta was immediately ushered out of the building that day in fear of another strike on more federal buildings also the schools were evacuated by the govenor. Was an interesting day and one that should never be forgotten.
