About the Episode
Oklahoma City held a solemn ceremony Saturday morning, honoring the 168 people who died 30 years ago today when an anti-government extremist set off a powerful bomb outside the federal building there. A single photograph captured the horror of that day: a firefighter cradling the lifeless body of a small child. That firefighter, Chris Fields, joins John Yang to reflect on his experience.
