Team Effort

Within minutes after 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, this tranquil plaza was transformed into a scene of frantic lifesaving activities as many individuals joined together in first responder teams to pull men, women, and children from the bomb-ravaged A.P. Murrah Federal Building. In less than an hour, a triage center was set up here. During the following fifteen days, this plaza served as one of the command posts and staging areas for over one thousand firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and other support staff from all over the country, whose search and rescue efforts earned the gratitude of a city, a state, and a nation.
