NCITE Insights No. 31 – Reflecting on the Oklahoma City Bombing 30 Years Later

On the latest episode of the podcast, Blake sits down with Anne Barnes, MBA, interim vice president and chief financial officer for the University of Nebraska System, to reflect on the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Barnes was working less than a mile from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building when a truck bomb detonated in front of it, blowing apart a third of the building and killing 168 people, including 19 children.

"One of my very good friends was the chair of orthopedic surgery at the time, and actually had to go into the bombing, the Murrah building, afterwards and had to amputate a woman's leg on-site so that they could get her out of the building," Barnes said.
