Feel free to explain yourself, dumbass.
Either he is wrong or the multiple media outlets were wrong. Who was giving out the bad info?Well, I don't mind explaining it to you then, since we are being serious and all. While, I was young and stupid back then, very much like you are now.
I remember it quite vividly.
If you could put yourself there in your mind under those circumstances,
1. America had not ever experienced something of that magnitude before that time.
2. So you can imagine, there was quite a bit of panic, disorganization, from the victims and emergency personnel, and a lot of misinformation from the local media.
3. National Media hadn't arrived until that evening, and by then we had a pretty good perimeter around the site.
4. By then, no media could get within 300 hundred yards of the site. But before? Local media was running all over, talking to anyone and everyone and reporting their so called findings over the air almost immediately in a play-by-play fashion.
5. On that first day, there wasn't any search dogs, or trained professional searchers with equipment. There were only local firefighters and police along with state wide volunteers.
6. As the local searchers are digging for survivors, they find these inert, harmless bombs. It immediately sent a panic through the emergency workers and then the crowds and the press, who all took off running for their lives. The search was canceled until the bomb squad verified the findings.
7. It isn't hard to understand or believe when you realize that a bunch of floors that held the ATF, and other Federal LE offices, collapsed on top of each other. And while searching for victims, they came rolling out from somewhere.
8. And just to let you know, The local news media reported there were bombs and then they corrected and reported they were inert training devices.
