I recently visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial with my two
sons.  Here are are some photos and a couple of video clips.

This is the memorial to those who were killed in the bombing of the
Murrah Federal Building in 1995.

Not knowing what to expect, we thought we would spend a half-an-hour
or so seeing the memorial.  As it turns out we spent over three hours
at the outdoor memorial and indoor museum. It's very well done and
quite an experience.

No photography is allowed in the museum.  Given the nature of the
material, photos wouldn't be very effective anyway.  Some things must
be experienced in person.

That said, there is no way these photos can convey the feeling of the
actual site.  If you are ever in the area of Oklahoma City, it is
worth spending some time to experience it for yourself.

A note on the videos.  They are just a couple of long panning shots to
provide a feel for the layout.  That said, they are several Mbytes
each and if you're not on a high speed connection should be skipped.

See you later, gs
