THE OKLAHOMA BOMBING - COUNTDOWN TIMELINE
McVeigh had bought a getaway car in advance and parked it opposite the Alfred P Murrah building. He then rented a 20-foot Ryder truck just two days before the bombing. After loading the truck full of explosives, Timothy McVeigh set out towards Oklahoma City on his deadly mission. Countdown Timeline Countdown Timeline
Timothy walks away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. (Scene from Zero Hour).
Timothy McVeigh walks away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

08:02 One hour before the blast, Timothy McVeigh is driving a rented Ryder truck along his planned route towards Oklahoma City.

08:23 McVeigh is only 30 miles away from the target. He drives carefully to avoid attracting attention.

08:36 Despite keeping within the speed limit and indicating at every turn, McVeigh notices a police car following him. After a while, the police car unfortunately pulls away and McVeigh continues on his mission. 

McVeigh viewed guns as a toolbox for life and felt the government was in a conspiracy to disarm people like him. (Scene from Zero Hour).

08:41 McVeigh reaches the outskirts of Oklahoma City.

08:57 McVeigh stops the truck and lights the first fuse. A security camera from an apartment block captures him as he lights the second fuse.

08:58 McVeigh reaches his destination just four minutes before the bomb goes off, and parks the truck outside the building. He walks across the road to a car park and drives off in a getaway car.

09:02 The bomb explodes. Nearly the entire north face of the 9-story building was pulverised into dust and rubble.
