Woman Calls 911 Over McNugget Emergency
NOTE: Video consists of the calls to 911.
Not once. Not twice. But three times did Latreasa Goodman call 911 about the lack of McNuggets at her local McDonald's and the manager's unwillingness to give her a refund.
When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one." Goodman noted, "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets," according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report. That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, "this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency."
I'm with you, Latreasa -- McNuggets ARE an emergency. I've nearly killed cashiers for less. Like that time they told me the McFlurry machine was broken -- I was over the counter and had dude's hand in a deep fryer before you could say Value Meal.
A McNuggets "Emergency" [thesmokinggun]
Thanks to Jason and Tank, who have both called 911 because they didn't get the toys they wanted their Happy Meals.

Time Flies!: An Artsy, Steampunkish Watch
Deviantartist sadwonderland went and made a steampunk styled wristwatch. While it doesn't look super steampunky, I still like the style. Hell, I'd wear it if I was a woman. Or, haha, home alone with the door locked and shades pulled tight. I'm not kidding.
This is a fancy steampunk-style wristwatch, fully functioning, with a new battery in it all ready to go!
A pair of angelic wings and decorative clock cogs frame the timepiece, and a charm chain hangs below, carrying a cog and a small victorian heart.Perfect for costuming or fancy time-travel parties!
I'm digging those wings. And you know what they say -- time flies when you're wearing a steampunk watch! What do you mean they don't say that? Well what do they say? Toy boat ten times fast? Fine! Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boyt, toy boyt, toyboyt, toyboyt, toyboyt, toyboyt! Oh, now everyone in the coffee shop is looking at me funny. F*** you, people, I'm a blogger damnit!
Lestrade Watch [deviantart]
Thanks to KXHone, who doesn't need a winged watch for time to fly, just alcohol.
Tokyoflash's first design of 2009, the R75, is now available, and you have the Geekologie Writer's personal guarantee it will get you laid.* How could it not -- it comes in three different colors, including gold! Like my teeth! It can also tell time in there different modes!... / Continue →
I don't have much information about this steampunky watch, so we'll just make it up as we go along. Let's see, it looks like the designer has a real penchant for coat hangers. Oh, and it looks uncomfortable to wear. That said, I'm sure it's a real attention getter. But most... / Continue →
What would a week on Geekologie be without another watch from Tokyoflash? A hot day in heaven, that's for sure. Anyway, the Tokyoflash Waku ($130) is the latest from the wily watchateers. Waku's wrist band, uniquely positioned between the frame and LEDs, is designed like a b... / Continue →

The Cyrus Cylinder travels to five major museum venues in the United States in 2013

The British Museum
today announces that one of its most iconic objects, the Cyrus Cylinder, will tour to five major museum venues in the United States in 2013. This will be the first time this object has been seen in the US and the tour is supported by the Iran Heritage Foundation.
The Cyrus Cylinder is one of the most famous objects to have survived from the ancient world. The Cylinder was inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform (cuneiform is the earliest form of writing) on the orders of the Persian King Cyrus the Great (559-530BC) after he captured Babylon in 539BC. It is often referred to as the first bill of human rights as it appears to encourage freedom of worship throughout the Persian Empire and to allow deported people to return to their homelands. It was found in Babylon in modern Iraq in 1879 during a British Museum excavation and has been on display ever since.
The Cyrus Cylinder is truly an object of world heritage, produced for a Persian king in Iraq and seen and studied for over 130 years in the British Museum. It is valued by people all around the world as a symbol of tolerance and respect for different peoples and different faiths, so much so that a copy of the cylinder is on display in the United Nations building in New York. The Museum has previously lent the Cylinder to the National Museum of Iran in 2010 - 2011 where it was seen by over one million people. This tour will provide the first opportunity for a wide US audience to engage with this unique object of world importance.
The Cylinder will travel with an exhibition of sixteen objects under the title The Cyrus Cylinder in Ancient Persia. The exhibition shows the innovations initiated by Persian rule in the Ancient Near East (550 BC-331 BC). The Persian Empire was then the largest the world had known. It had a huge impact on the ancient world, introducing changes in terms of ethical behaviour as witnessed in the proclamation on the Cyrus Cylinder. A gold plaque from the Oxus Treasure with the representation of a priest shows the spread of the Zoroastrian religion at this time. Persian kings also introduced a new writing system, Old Persian cuneiform, as seen on part of a column base from Hamadan, and on the famous seal of Darius (522-486 BC). They also developed new forms of luxury goods including beautifully decorated gold and silver bowls and sumptuous gold bracelets featuring fantastic animal shapes, some of them from the Oxus Treasure.
The tour will debut at the Smithsonians Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington DC in March 2013 before travelling to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco and will conclude at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa Los Angeles in October (full dates below). The exhibition is curated by John Curtis, Keeper of Special Middle East Projects at the British Museum and curatorial colleagues at each of the venues.
Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum said, You could almost say that the Cyrus Cylinder is A History of the Middle East in one object and it is a link to a past which we all share and to a key moment in history that has shaped the world around us. Objects are uniquely able to speak across time and space and this object must be shared as widely as possible. I am delighted that it will travel to the US and am hugely grateful to both our US partners and the Iran Heritage Foundation for making this possible.
John Curtis, Keeper of Special Middle East Projects at the British Museum said The Cyrus Cylinder and associated objects represent a new beginning for the Ancient Near East. The Persian period, commencing in 550 BC, was not just a change of dynasty but a time of change in the ancient world. Some of these changes and innovations are highlighted in the exhibition.
Alireza Rastegar, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Iran Heritage Foundation America, said "Iran Heritage Foundation is proud to be partners with the British Museum and leading US venues in bringing this magnificent exhibition to the United States. The Cyrus Cylinder and its message of respect for diversity and universal human rights carries a timely message about tolerance for all of us today. We are very grateful to the Iranian American community who have supported us in this endeavour and are looking forward to a positive reception as the Cylinder tours the US.

The Top Two
In this group, we have two definite first round locks: Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins. No, you didn't hear me incorrectly. DeAndre Hopkins is not a "fringe" second round pick that's moving up to the first round. He is a legitimate choice in that mix, one that some think may be one of the best WRs in the draft. We'll do a break down of each one of these guys one by one, starting with the Clemson prospect.

Strenghts: DeAndre Hopkins may not be the biggest WR or the fastest, but he is perhaps one of the most technically sound in the entire draft class. His straight line speed, while not the best in the draft class, is under rated and combined with his crisp route running, Hopkins can make sudden quick cuts to get separation from his opponents. He has great body control which he uses to shield defenders and paired with excellent hands to haul in difficult passes. (Clemson student bonus: check out his corkscrew catch in the back of the endzone against LSU to see what I'm talking about). Additionally, Hopkins has a knack for going up and attacking the balls at their highest point, not unlike Steve Smith in that regard. He was also an effective run blocker for Clemson when asked to do so. Hopkins is simply an all-around versatile WR who can be used in any offense at any time and attack every level of the defense.
Weaknesses: Measurables. If you're the type of person that gets giddy at the thought of a 4.3 WR, you're not going to like Hopkins. On paper, Hopkins does not impress because nothing really stands out. He's only 6'1" and his forty times were not great at the combine (though those did improve during his Pro-Day). His appeal comes from his work on the field.
Conclusion: I'm honestly not sure where the knock on Hopkins as 2nd round prospect comes from, despite what some have written (even some on here). Rest assured, he will not be there. Hopkins has improved his game every year he has been at Clemson and last year showed the potential to be a dangerous weapon if leaned upon. Hopkins's production increased every year, as I said before, culminating in the 4th most yards this past season (2nd most among draft prospects) and 2nd most TDs. Of this draft class, only Stedman Baily had more. He'll be one of the WRs in this draft, and even resident Clemson-hating editor BW Smith agrees.

Strenghts: The WR prospect out of Cal went into the 2012-2013 season looking like the top prospect in the draft. He's a big, strong WR who makes excellent use of his body. He's a great route runner, who can fool defenders with a sudden break to get all the separation he'll need. Because of his size, he's not only able to out jump defenders in the air, but he uses it to his advantage when blocking.
Weaknesses: His knee injury is perhaps one of his biggest concerns. But hey, the Panthers have had pretty good luck in that department, right? Hogan and Otah turned out great!... Okay enough joking aside, that's really his biggest draw back. He's also not exactly the fastest WR out there, but he is fast enough. There was a major drop off in his production last season, which was limited both by his quarterback at Cal and his knee injury, which kept him out of the final 3 games.
Conclusion: If Keenan Allen hadn't suffered his PCL sprain, there's probably no question that he would be the top WR in this draft. And I'll admit, personally I am a little scared about our history with players and their knee injuries. However, if this all turns out to be much ado about nothing, then he should still be perhaps the best WR. He's spent considerable amount of time with our team, working out with the Panthers WR Coach Ricky Proehl at his training facility in Greensboro, NC and another private workout is said to have been schedule already. There is a definite interest here and the Panthers may indeed be looking to pair up this exceptional WR with Cam Newton to improve our offense.
Author's Note: I find myself seeing a lot of comparisons between Hopkins and Allen. Is it a coincidence that both have two meetings with the team? Secondary Note: If they are so similar, why not take the one with the least risk... (That'd be Hopkins, ya'll.)
Looking to the 2nd Round
We know the Panthers are looking at the first round talent in WRs, but there's also a chance, depending on how the draft goes, that the Panthers will select a defensive tackle in the first round and follow that up by adding a WR in the second round (or later). In the event that we end up going in another direction with our first pick, let's look at our options in the later rounds who have already visited the Panthers: Quinton Patton and Stedman Bailey.
Quinton Patton |

2012 |

2011 |

1202 |

Strenghts: Quinton Patton was one of the most productive WRs over the last two years, putting up nearly 2600 yards and 24 TDs. He is a good route runner and what some scouts call a "gritty" WR, fighting for the ball with defensive backs and getting physical with them at the line of scrimmage. He has excellent hands and is good at hauling in the tough, contested passes that other WRs may drop.
Weaknesses: A little short, and not as quick as some, Patton's biggest knock is in his potential upside. The sad truth is that Patton has been hit with a marker that he simply may be destined to be simply best as your 3rd WR, not 1st or 2nd. He's not going to stretch the field like some other guys, being best in the role as a slot WR.
Conclusion: The one thing about Patton that you simply can't argue with is his production. Over the last 2 years, he has been one of the most consistently productive WRs in college football, putting up almost 2600 yards and 24 TDs in just 2 years. However, I'd have some concerns about his future role with the Panthers, seeing as how we're going to eventually need a 1st WR, and even possibly another 2nd WR if LaFell leaves in free agency. Questions about Patton's ceiling are going to really force the issue here. If the Panthers brass believes he can transcend his short comings, they may opt to go for the Louisiana Tech prospect.

Strengths: Bailey is a quick, athletic, and productive WR out of West Virginia. A lot of oohs and ahhs were made about his team mate, Tavon Austin, at the combine, but don't let that convince you that Bailey has been overshadowed. He lead the entire country last year in touchdowns last season and had the most receiving yards out of any WR in this draft class. Not only that, but every year he has improved upon his previous performance, showing constant and consistent growth from year to year, no doubt in part to his very good route-running.
Weaknesses: Short. That was the first thing I read on the scouting reports about him almost every time. And let's face it, he is. At 5'10" he's simply not the biggest guy on the field, but we all know that size doesn't always matter at WR (even if it certainly can help). There are also questions about whether his shear speed will translate well in the NFL. As James astutely noted on CatScratch Radio last night, the guys who run the fastest don't exactly make the best WRs at this level. And despite Bailey's quickness, he's not particularly explosive nor is he shifty when changing directions.
Conclusions: This is another guy whose been labeled a "third WR" much like Quinton Patton. There are simply concerns about whether or not his game will translate well into the NFL. But let's face it... If there weren't questions about those things he would be a first round prospect, right? And it's not as though Bailey didn't put up big numbers against quality competition: 300 yards vs. Baylor (and 5 TDs to boot...), 200 yards against both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. And let's not forget how well he torched LSU and their prized secondary the year before. There's no question about whether or not Bailey is capable, only about how far he will go at the next level.
But what about...?
For those of you pining for Cordarelle Patterson or Tavon Austin, I regret to inform you that at this time, we simply haven't seen any indication that the Panthers are targetting those players. As many have noted, you generally do not spend your early selections on picks with players you haven't met, and if you do the results can be disastrous (everyone wave at Jimmy!). When it comes down to it, we've looked at two sets of players who are extremely identical. DeAndre Hopkins and Keenan Allen are both very similar in size, speed, and ability as are Bailey and Patton.
My personal preference, not entirely due to Clemson, is Hopkins, but hopefully this article has helped you round out your own opinions to make for yourself.

By Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer | Healthy Living – Tue, Dec 3, 2013 2:56 PM ESTThere was no Zumba in 1965, no hot yoga, CrossFit, spin nor many other faddish exercises that modern-day moms plunk down their money for to stay trim and healthy. But, there was a lot more housework, like cooking, cleaning, and childcare — and a lot less passive entertainment, like watching television, which may explain weight differences between moms about 50 years ago and mothers today.According to a new study published in the medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings, over the last 50 years, mothers have become significantly less active overall and require about 1,200-1,500 fewer calories per week to stay at a healthy weight compared to their 1965 counterparts. The authors say that this energy imbalance — calories consumed versus calories burned — is contributing to the obesity epidemic for both women and their children.

If you are missing an ingredient for your Thanksgiving meal, you can just dash out to the grocery store at the last minute, right? While more and more retailers are opening their doors to shoppers on Thursday, hoping that the convenience of an extra shopping day and first dibs on Black Friday sales will boost revenues, many retail workers are, understandably, against the idea.
In Chicago, a group of Whole Foods employees held a strike on Wednesday to protest some of the stores' decision to open on the holiday and bring attention to the what they say are hardships faced by people who are scheduled to work. "They feel like they should have the right to be with their families on Thanksgiving," Deivid Rojas, communications director for the Workers Organizing Committee of Chicago, a union of retail and fast food workers, tells Yahoo Shine.

Architecture Billings Index Sets Another Record LowBillings by architects set another record low in November for the second consecutive month, extending a string of record lows set this year, according to the Architecture Billings Index of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The index is considered a leading indicator of construction activity, with approximately nine to 12 months between billing and construction spending. The Index stood at 34.7 in November, down from 36.2 in October and its lowest level since the survey began in 1995. A score of 50 or above indicates an increase in billings. Last November the Index was 55.3. In December 2007, the Index ended a 34-month run of positive readings, the longest in its history. "With mounting job losses, declines in retail sales, and travel cut-backs the need for new commercial facilities has dropped considerably recently," said Kermit Baker, AIA chief economist. "What's just as troubling is that the institutional sector --schools, hospitals and public buildings -- is also beginning to react to tighter credit conditions and a weakening economy."

Swim champ in the making
Published on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 by

When coaches talk about Noe Calderon, they can't help but mention the superlatives: natural talent, a great work ethic, diligence beyond his years.
It's a good thing they talk about the Sequim High School freshman, since Calderon isn't exactly the most loquacious of athletes.
He'd rather be in the water and let his swimming speak for itself.
At just 14 years old, Calderon has become a quiet leader among the Wolves, posting six of Sequim's best eight times in eight individual events heading into the Jan. 27 meet with Bremerton.
"He's got the drive - he never asks questions and does what I ask him to do," Sequim coach Linda Bingler says. "Some people are natural swimmers."
Calderon picked up the sport at age 7 when he joined the now-defunct Olympic Peninsula Aquatics swim club team.
"I wanted to learn how to swim," Calderon says plainly. "I tried really hard."
Small and lean but willing to learn, the youngster picked up the strokes and truly took the water quickly, says OPA coach Dan Clark.
"(I noticed) his shyness; mostly he just focused on what he was doing," Clark says. "I think it's grown to be his passion. Working out to him is not a dirty word."
In 2004, Clark's club dissolved after a tussle with local pool officials and use of swim lanes, so an undeterred Calderon joined the Port Angeles Swim Club, a team he trains with in the off-season.
Now Calderon is hitting the lanes with the Wolves. In his first year, the freshman has four district-qualifying swims: the 200 individual medley (his favorite), the 500 free, the 100 backstroke and the 100 breaststroke.
For Bingler, the only swim coach Sequim High School's ever had, Calderon has been a pleasant addition to the team. Even if, she notes, he's not the most talkative athlete. One week, the coach saw Calderon's times dip slightly. She asked him if he was OK and Calderon told her he was sick. He'd been sick for a week but hadn't told her.
"He reminds me of Summer (Jackson); he's a solitary swimmer," Bingler says.
Jackson, for those who don't recall, was a three-time state champion, All-American, Washington state swimmer of the year in 2004 and went to the University of Arkansas on a swimming scholarship. Jackson also was an OPA swimmer with Clark.
It's not the first time Calderon's been linked to the former Sequim High School star.
"He's be at least as fast as (Summer)," Clark says. "I think he's built like a swimmer. When he goes to state, by the time he's a senior, he's going to be right up there at the top."
At first glance, the youth doesn't look like a prototypical swimmer, at least not with his height. At about 5-foot 7 inches, Calderon is more slight than the majority of his teammates.
That won't matter much, Bingler says.
"Size is not necessarily a deterrent," she says. "He's got a lot of good water finesse. He knows his strokes well and (puts in) a lot of hard work."
Clark, who still keeps in contact with his former swim student, says Calderon is shaping up physically to be a strong swimmer.
"He's still growing - he's got broad shoulders," Clark says. "He's getting more muscular (and) ... he's got the heart of an athlete."
That heart keeps the young swimmer up with some of the best athletes in the Olympic League. While Calderon says he likes the sport for its settling qualities - "It relaxes me," he says - he and his coaches admit his most valuable athletic quality is his drive.
Clark tells the story of Calderon when he was 10 or 11 and competing at a meet in Silverdale. In one event, Calderon's goggles came off and he defaulted. In the next event, it happened again. After his father bought a new set of goggles, Clark recalls, Calderon dove deep into the pool at the start of a 100 individual medley race, then came to the surface and made sure his goggles were going to stay on. He quickly caught up with the pack, passed them and won easily.
"He was waiting for them at the end," Clark says. "He grew up a lot that day."
Calderon says he's hoping the swimming helps out with a scholarship someday. But first, he hopes to get his teammates to districts and beyond, particularly in the 200 freestyle medley.
"Everybody's got to drop two seconds," Calderon says.
It's the kind of effort that requires some hard work - and not so much talking.

PetGuard Canned Cat Food Fish Chicken and Liver Dinner -- 13.2 oz
OK, no more.
My cats eat the Fish Chicken and Liver Dinner but they are not crazy about it, so I won't buy it again.
February 27, 2013
My kitties like PetGuard
This is a good quality food and I also add 3 drops of cod liver oil for pets. Smooth sailing and healthy kids.
November 12, 2012
Good ingredients, good price, cat loves it
The title really sums it up. And the price really is great for premium cat food, even when you include shipping (or buy enough stuff so shipping is free).
October 15, 2012
Great quality
This is a great quality cat food. It's a shame there isn't a large can (14 oz) of beef flavor.
February 3, 2012
great price and value
This is a great product, great price, great value. I was afraid of using large cans thinking it would get dry in the refrigerator, but this product stays very moist.

The Washington mess - it's not about spending, debt ceiling or philosophical differences. There's an elephant in the room that nobody will admit seeing.
It started on election night, when it became clear that Barack Obama would be elected President of the United States. A group of Republicans held a secret meeting on how to make President Obama fail. Mitch McConnell actually admitted it: "Our main job is to make sure Obama is a one term president."
This gang of tea party extremists and sympathizers, mostly from the old Confederate South, bent on turning the clock back to the "bad old days," has not stopped since. They, with their barely disguised Foghorn Leghorn accents, have unceasingly accused President Obama of everything from not being a U.S. citizen to being a secret Taliban agent.
And now, these tea partiers, with unwilling or unwitting help from fearful and reasonable normal Republicans, are willing and seem to be glad to destroy our government, sacrifice the well-being of most of our citizens, and to cause a world-wide economic collapse to achieve their twisted main goal: To make a black man, who is a duly-elected president, fail.

While many tickets are still available for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, the Buccaneers did announce that the game versus the other team from the state Texas has sold out.
The Buccaneers' Dec. 17 NFL Network broadcast game with the Dallas Cowboys sold out Tuesday marking just the second game over the last two seasons that a home game will be seen locally. The Oct. 3 Monday Night game with the Colts was the first game since 2009 to sell out in time to lift the NFL 72-hour blackout policy.
Coming into this season many felt the two nationally televised games (Colts and Cowboys) had the highest likelihood of selling out. Unless something drastic happens, those two games most likely will be the only two home games (not counting the London home game) that will be shown locally.
A published report by the Daily Beast recently listed Tampa as the eighth "brokest" city in America and No. 1 in cities that host a professional sports franchise. The data used to compute the figures included unemployment, average credit score, personal debt and median household income.

Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building | |
The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, as it appeared before its destruction.
Alternative names | Alfred P. Murrah Building |
General information | |
Status | Destroyed |
Location | Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, U.S. |
Country | United States of America |
Opening | March 2, 1977 |
Destroyed | April 19, 1995 |
Owner | U.S. federal government |
The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was a United States federal government complex located at 200 N.W. 5th Street in Downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. The building was the target of the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children all under age 6.[1] Half of the building collapsed seconds after the truck bomb detonated. The remains of the building were imploded a month after the attack, and the Oklahoma City National Memorial was built on the site.
Construction and use[edit]
The federal building was designed by architect Wendell Locke of Locke, Wright and Associates and constructed using reinforced concrete in 1977 at a cost of $14.5 million. The building, named for federal judge Alfred P. Murrah, an Oklahoma native, opened on March 2, 1977.[2]
By the 1990s, the building contained regional offices for the Social Security Administration, the United States Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration (D.E.A.), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (A.T.F.). The building also contained recruiting offices for both the Army and the Marine Corps. It housed approximately 550 employees.[3]
Prior bombing plots[edit]
In October 1983, members of the white supremacist group The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord, including founder James Ellison and Richard Snell plotted to park "a van or trailer in front of the Federal Building and blow it up with rockets detonated by a timer."[4] Convicted of murder in an unrelated case, Richard Snell was executed on April 19, 1995, the same day as the bombing of the federal building was carried out, after Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas declined to hear further appeal.[5]
At 9:02 a.m. local time on April 19, 1995, a Ryder rental truck, containing approximately 7,000 pounds (3175 kg) of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane, and diesel fuel was detonated in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, destroying a third of the building and causing severe damage to several other buildings located nearby. As a result of the massive explosion, 168 people were killed, including 19 children, and over 800 others were injured.[6] It was the deadliest terrorist attack, with the most property damage, on American soil before the September 11 attacks. It remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in American history.
Timothy McVeigh was found guilty of the attack in a jury trial and was sentenced to death. He was executed in 2001. A co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, is serving multiple life sentences in a federal prison. Third and fourth subjects, Michael Fortier and his wife Lori, assisted in the plot. They testified against both McVeigh and Nichols in exchange for a 12-year prison term for Michael Fortier and immunity for Lori. Fortier was released into the witness protection program in January 2006.[7]
McVeigh said that he bombed the Murrah building on the two-year anniversary of the Waco Siege in 1993 to retaliate for U.S. government actions there and at the siege at Ruby Ridge. Before his execution, McVeigh said that he did not know a day care center was in the building and that, had he known, "It might have given me pause to switch targets."[1] The FBI said that McVeigh scouted the interior of the building in December 1994 and likely knew of the day-care center before the bombing.[8]
Rescue and recovery efforts were concluded at 11:50 pm on May 1, with the bodies of all but three victims recovered.[9] For safety reasons, the building was to be demolished shortly afterward. However, McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones, called for a motion to delay the demolition until the defense team could examine the site in preparation for the trial.[10] More than a month after the bombing, at 7:01 am on May 23, the Murrah Federal building was demolished.[9] The final three bodies, those of two credit union employees and a customer, were recovered.[11] For several days after the building's demolition, trucks hauled 800 tons of debris a day away from the site. Some of the debris was used as evidence in the conspirators' trials, incorporated into parts of memorials, donated to local schools, and sold to raise funds for relief efforts.[10]
Remnants and replacement[edit]
Several remnants of the Murrah Building stand on the site of the Oklahoma City National Memorial. Its plaza (on what was once the south side of the building) has been incorporated into the memorial; the Murrah Building's original flagpole is still in use. The east wall of the Murrah Building (within the building's footprint) is intact, as well as portions of the south wall. The building's underground parking garage survived the blast and is used today, but it is guarded and closed to the public.[12]
The federal government began construction of a new building to replace the Murrah Building in late 2000. This new building was sited north of the site of the original Murrah Building. It incorporates numerous security measures implemented in federal designs nationwide after the bombing of the Murrah Building.[13]
