Oklahoma City Bombing Incident Coverage

And that that one explosion caused, because here's now what we are starting to

learn about, uh, the succession or what someone obviously

hoped would be a succession of explosions.

The first bomb that was in the federal building did go off.

It did the damage that you see right there.

The second explosive was found and diffused.

The third explosive that was found, and they are working on right now as we

speak, I understand, both the second and third explosives, if you can

imagine this, were larger than the first.

So try to imagine two or threefold happening-

Mm

... uh, what we've already seen there.

It is just, uh, incredible to think that there was that much heavy

artillery that was somehow moved into the downtown Oklahoma City federal building.

Two other explosive devices were found that were not detonated,

and they were

larger than the first.

I think he said another bomb.

Another bomb. Move back.

Oh my God, another bomb.

We, uh, just saw, if you were watching there, there

was a white pickup truck

backing a trailer into the scene here.

They're trying to move people out of the way so they can get it in.

Appears to be the Oklahoma County bomb squad.

Uh, it's their bomb disposal unit essentially

is what it is, and it is what they

would use to... If, if the report that we gave you just a few moments ago

turns out

to be correct, that they have found a second explosive

device of some kind inside

this building, they'll back that trailer down there, and the, uh,

bomb squad

folks will go in, and they will use that, uh, that trailer.

You see the, the bucket on the back there, sort of this is how they would transport

the explosive device away from this populated area to try to do something with

it.

The Justice Department is reporting that a second explosive

device has been found in the AP Murrah, uh,

building in downtown Oklahoma City.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Mike, you're still with us, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Y-

And I, and I might tell you in addition to that,

that in fact, what we were told at

the scene a few minutes ago was that in fact,

two different explosive devices were

found in addition to the one that went off.

So a total of three devices.

A total of three.

Now confirmed, uh, through federal authorities

that a second bomb

has been found inside that federal building in Oklahoma City.

It was an explosion at 9:00 this morning that did that damage you're

looking at right there, blowing off the entire north face of

that building.

Again, you're looking at the north face there.

A second bomb was found on the east side of that building.

A bomb squad is on the scene. That second bomb has not exploded.

We don't know quite the status yet, if they've managed to diffuse it,

but it has

been confirmed that a second bomb was found on the east side.

The report that I have is that one device was, uh, was, uh,

deactivated. Apparently there's another device,

and obviously whatever did the

damage to the Murrah Building was a tremendous, uh, very

sophisticated explosive device.

So President Clinton just called Frank, uh, Keating, Governor Frank Keating,

and he says that three FBI anti-terrorist teams are en route to

Oklahoma City. Right now, they are saying that this is the work of a

sophisticated group. This is a very, uh, sophisticated, uh,

device, and, um, it has to have been done by an explosives

expert, um, obviously with this type of explosion.

The medical teams downtown are unable to get into the

wreckage to retrieve more of the injured because of the presence of

other, uh, bombs in the area.

I just took a look down the street, uh, at the Murrah Building again.

I see another bomb truck going, so apparently they're gonna try to get out

that

third bomb that's been talked about.

Still a lot of activity around the Murrah Building.

Uh, security concerns that another one still might go off.
