00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: December twenty ninth, nineteen seventy five, LaGuardia Airport.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: Christmas toys. Then at six thirty three pm, everything changed.

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: A bomb went off with such force that it ripped

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: apart the ground level locker room and baggage area of

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,799

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and order criminal

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: focus to a threat that hides and plain sight, that's

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: harder to predict and even harder to stop. That was

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: not just a small bomb that turned out to be

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: twenty two sticks of dynamite.

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,240

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: It registered three point two on the Richter scale like

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: an earthquake. I was a tremendous roar, and how it

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: shaped the playbook we still use today. She put together

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: that drawing of Timothy McVeigh.

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Within an hour, we've got McVeagh.

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: Identified from investigators on the front lines.

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,920

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: the armored car and opens fire into the windows.

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: I then returned fire with my shotgun to everyday people

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: whose lives changed in an instant. That's when the bomb

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: went off. It was just this extremely loud roaring in

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: my head.

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: It was devastating to go one minute from celebrating your

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: ninth birthday with your dad to him being dead for

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: no reason.

35
