The 5-day time-period of April 16TH to April 20TH has been quite deadly here in the U.S. over the past 16 years. 5 horrific events have occurred during this time, and some would argue that at least 2 – perhaps 3 of them are indirectly related to each other.
You may remember where you were and what you were doing as these 5 disasters unfolded before a LIVE international television audience:
5. Johnson Space Center, Houston Texas, April 20TH 2007
– 2 dead
4. Columbine High School, Columbine Colorado, April 20TH 1999
– 15 dead / 24 injured
3. Virginia Tech, Blacksburg Virginia, April 16TH 2007
– 33 dead / 23 injured
2. Branch Davidian Ranch, Waco Texas, April 19TH 1993
– 80 dead
1. Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City Oklahoma, April 19TH 1995
– 168 dead / 850+ injured
I’ve actually visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.
