3812.1From the MAS notesfileSHRCTR::SCHILTONWhen they said sit down,I stood upWed Apr 19 1995 14:498
    I read in the MASSACHUSETTS notesfile that a Federal bldg in
    Oklahoma City was leveled by a blast felt 38 miles away.  Six
    children in a day-care center located in the bldg were killed.
    
    As a precautionary measure all federal and state bldgs in Boston
    have been evacuated.

    The bldg was not leveled, have of the building is gone. They found an
    explosive  device that has been taken apart, rescue crews are allowed
    back in. People missing and killed.
    
    The pictures are very scary.

    News flash!  All Federal and State buildings in Boston are being
    evacuated due to a bomb threat.  A bomb has gone off in a Federal
    building in Oklahoma City leveling the building where there was a
    daycare, Social Services and other Federal groups.  That is known at
    this time, 6 children fatalities and several children/adults in fair
    condition while 1 adult in serious condition in surgery.  Local YMCA
    next to building was destroyed also.
    
    It was said that the bomb/blast could be felt up to 38 miles away.
    
    That's all I have for details at this time.  No one has claimed
    responsibility at this time.

    News folks keep reminding everyone that this is the anniversary of the
    WACO TX mess and the building in OK City housed the ATF, who
    orchestrated to Waco bombings.
    
    Nobody is saying the two are linked, but they lead you to believe they
    are.
    
    There ARE advantages to being a telecommuter like TV in the background.

is write-locked.
