**Oklahoma City, OK – April 2, 2025** – National Geographic’s new three-part docuseries, “Oklahoma City Bombing: One Day in America,” premiered today, offering a minute-by-minute account of the devastating April 19, 1995, bombing. The series, airing on National Geographic and streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, prioritizes the firsthand accounts of survivors, victims’ families, first responders, and law enforcement officials.
News 9 journalist Robin Marsh, who was among the first reporters on the scene in 1995, is featured in the series, sharing her experiences. Director Ceri Isfryn emphasized the series’ focus on the human element, highlighting the ordinary lives disrupted by the tragedy. Isfryn noted the inclusion of powerful moments, such as Firefighter Mike Shannon recounting his agonizing decision to evacuate his crew amidst fears of a second bomb, leaving behind those still trapped.
The series uses extensive archival footage from News 9 to reconstruct the events moment by moment. Isfryn, who hails from the United Kingdom, expressed her surprise and admiration for the “Oklahoma Standard,” the community’s resilience and spirit of service.
The docuseries is divided into three episodes, each covering key phases of the bombing and its aftermath. A notable interview with former President Bill Clinton underscores the continuing significance of the event and its lessons on common humanity, a theme Clinton will reiterate at the upcoming 30th-anniversary remembrance ceremony in Oklahoma City.
Isfryn expressed deep gratitude to all those who shared their deeply personal and traumatic experiences, hoping the series serves as a lasting historical record and a tribute to the victims.
