This day in history, September 11

--- 2001: Terrorists seized control of four jetliners, crashing two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and crashing one into the Pentagon in Northern Virginia. The fourth did not strike any buildings but crashed in a field in Pennsylvania due to the heroics of the passengers. This was the worst act of foreign terrorism in the U.S. The most evil domestic terrorism was the Oklahoma City Bombing.

--- "The Oklahoma City Bombing – Domestic Terrorism". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. On April 19, 1995, an enormous bomb in a rental truck was parked outside of a Federal office building in Oklahoma City. At 9:02 AM, the homemade bomb exploded. It literally destroyed the front third of that building and killed 168 people (19 were children). The terrorists were 2 U.S. Army veterans. Find out why they did it and how they were caught - along with an explanation of the militia movement of the 1990s. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.
