However, the second message sent by the NYPD, to all residents of NYC about the bombing, wasn't necessary needed. The alert was sent in the morning, meaning majority of NYC residents have probably seen it on the news already the night prior.…

    On April 19, 1995 the United States’ a devastating terrorist attack occurred in Oklahoma City killing 168 people and injuring 650 more (History.com Staff, 2009). The explosion at the Alfred P.
