On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh parked a Ryder rental truck filled with explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The resulting explosion killed 168 people and destroyed the entire north face of the building. The Oklahoma City National Memorial is a memorial in the United States that honors the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were affected by the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. The memorial is located in downtown Oklahoma City on the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which was destroyed in the 1995 bombing. This building was located on NW 5th Street between N. Robinson Avenue and N. Harvey Avenue. The memorial was formally dedicated on April 19, 2000, the fifth anniversary of the bombing. The museum was dedicated and opened 10 months later on February 19, 2001. On the north side of the Memorial, a Survivor Tree was heavily damaged by the bomb, but it survived. Thousands of Survivor Trees are growing in public and private places all across the U.S. The seeds from the Survivor Tree are planted every year and saplings are distributed each year on the anniversary of the bombing. On the site where the Murrah Building once stood, there are 138 empty chairs that have been handcrafted from glass, bronze, and stone. Each has a name engraved on its glass base. They represent those who lost their lives. To symbolize the nine floors of the building, the chairs are arranged in nine rows; each chair is on the floor or row where the person was or worked when the bomb was detonated. The 19 smaller chairs represent the children killed in the bombing. On their mothers' chairs, beneath their mothers' names, are the names of three unborn children who died along with their mothers.
