OKLAHOMA CITY – Wednesday morning, people across the state and country will take time to remember the 168 lives that were lost 22 years ago.

On April 19, 1995, a bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, destroying much of the nine-story structure.

While the scars have healed since that day, the memories are still fresh in the minds of so many.

Today, we honor those 168 lives lost, but not forgotten.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum hosts the 21st Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony beginning at 8:50 a.m. on Wednesday.

If you can’t make it to the ceremony, you can watch it live on NewsChannel 4 or KFOR.com.

During the program, 168 seconds of silence will be observed at 9:02 a.m.
