Oklahoma City National Memorial
This is on the site of the former Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building which was destroyed in a bombing on April 19, 1995.
The bronze gate is inscribed "9:01" for one minute before the blast and there is one on the other end for "9:03" - the beginning of recovery - with a reflecting pool in between. In the background you can see some of the 168 glass, bronze, and stone chairs that sit on a hill where the building stood - one chair for each person killed.
