The Oklahoma City Bombing happened in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. The bomb was directed towards the government because Timothy McVeigh had a strong hatred toward the government and wanted the government to collapse. This hatred caused Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols to target the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The bomb was so strong that it ended up killing 168 people along with injuring over 500 people. Out of 168 people that were killed, 8 were federal workers along with 19 that were children. The children were on the second floor of the Murrah building at the daycare center.
