Over twenty years ago, ABC's 20/20 broadcast a show with reporter Tom Jarriel discussing his finding surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing a few years earlier. It was a fascinating episode that talked about missing log sheets from the fire department, many conflicts of witnesses vs the official line. I still remember the last 2-3 minutes when Tom sat at the desk with Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs. They both had stunned looks on their faces. I think it was authentic and they had no idea what was in store for them when they began the episode. Get this, Jarriel finished his comments with, "... and if you think this was amazing, just wait until next week. The information we have for you next week will really blow your socks off."
I anxiously sat down the following week to get my socks blown off ... no Tom Jarriel, no OKC story, nothing. Never even mentioned the previous week's material, nada. During the end of the broadcast, they always had a screen with order information to purchase a copy of a previous broadcast. I put a letter and check in the mail the next day. A week or so later, my tape arrived. I watched the broadcast again, AND THEY ERASED JARRIEL'S COMMENTS ABOUT A FOLLOW UP EPISODE.
I found out later that the producer, a man named Rodriguez was fired and never worked for ABC again. Unfortunately, in a red-pill effort, I loaned the tape to someone at work and never got it back. I've looked online for a copy to no avail. I will contact ABC and see if I can get another copy.
I did find this article that discusses that broadcast
20/20 Oklahoma City story.
THAT is an incredible story.
If you happen to locate any part/info of that broadcast, please ping.
Thanks!
Years ago I took did the tour of the bombing museum there in OKC. They put us in a room that was a replica of an office & played a audio tape of the bombing. IIRC, there was a taped meeting in an adjacent building (water council or something like that). That is how they got the recording.
I distinctly remember looking around the room & seeing tears flowing down most everyone’s faces.
It is infuriating to know that such evil walks among us.
