VIDEO: Oklahoma will never forget what happened 28 years ago. One hundred sixty-eight people died when terrorists detonated a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The day forever changed the lives of many Oklahomans, including first responders. Now, every year around this time, firefighters and others come together for a "Ride to Remember." Motorcycle riders from near and far come together to remember. "I'll never forget it as long as I live," said Marty Thorne, retired Oklahoma City Fire Department, Wind and Fire Motorcycle Club member. Many are retired firefighters who responded to the bombing. "One of the things that caught my attention right away right out front of the Regency Apartments, was the axle from the Ryder truck that embedded in a vehicle that was parked outside The Regency Tower apartment," said Keith Bryant, retired OKCFD, Wind and Fire Motorcycle Club.
