I was in my office in Oklahoma City about 8 miles from the federal building. I heard the blast and felt the concussion and went downtown to help out. The building was surrounded by police and a policeman took me to a nearby triage center occupied by about 100 physicians, 400 nurses and innumerable ambulances from the area. I stayed about three hours and in that time only one patient came in. The casualties had all gone directly to the closest hospitals. I lost two friends, a retired missionary/dentist and his wife whose two daughters had worked for me in the past. 168 people were killed but three ladies were pregnant.....I count the fatalities as 171

Oh, I'd never heard that before. It just makes the tragedy that much worse. Three little angels who never had a chance.
