[QUOTE="gl55, post: 4248951, member: 729"] I was working at the AT&T Manufacturing plant on Reno and Council. I had just come inside from taking a smoke break and was sitting at my desk when I heard the boom and it shook just a little. I remember thinking that was thunder but then I remembered it was a clear sky when I was outside just a few minutes earlier. A few minutes later my boss came up and asked if my wife was downtown that day. She worked at the plant too but happened to be on the Grand Jury that was investigating the County Jail problems and he knew that. Then he told me that a bomb had gone off downtown. Well she had just parked her car on the 3rd level of a parking garage 2 blocks away from the Murrah building and was walking to the elevator when the bomb went off. It had knocked her to the ground. She got up and went to the building where the Grand Jury was being held and all the windows were blown out in that room and was told everything was canceled and to try and go home. Had she been in that room she would have been sitting right in front of one of the windows she said. They wouldn't let her get her car out of the parking garage so she started walking until she found a phone to call me on. Or she might have had a cell phone at that time. I don't remember exactly. They had issued her a phone at the plant for her job but don't remember if she had it at that time or if that came later. Cell phones were still pretty new back then and not everyone had one like now. I told her to just start walking west and when she got somewhere where she could call and I could get to to pick her up to call me back. She called me from the Braums on Classen Blvd and I left work and went and picked her up. We then went home and watched the TV the rest of the day. I think it was about 4 or 5 days before they let us get her car out of that parking garage. [/QUOTE]
