I was at work, and my boss told me to "hold the phones" and to come and see what was on TV in his office.
Initially we were both simply amazed that someone would do this, and we both cried. The guys had already gone out to their project sites, so it was just the two of us. We didn't get a lot done that day. I remember watching TV most of the day, and also the guys calling in from the construction sites to ask for updates every hour or so.
I'm still amazed that they caught McVeigh so quickly. I'm still convinced that there is more to the story than we were told.
My memory may be faulty on this, but didn't McVeigh have a loaded gun on the seat next to him when he was arrested?
It doesn't make sense that someone who'd just committed mass murder would hesitate to commit one more.
