Now 30 years have passed since the bombing of the destroyed Oklahoma City, but the deadly tragic memories continue to chase the first medical at the scene.
Karl Speckler was working as a resident of the University of Oklahoma on April 19, 1995.

Day of Hell
He had just ended a cumbersome night, and unusually, he went to near dinner for breakfast with a friend.
“This was the first time that I went to eat after working in the four years that I was there,” said the US Sun newspaper.
He did not know that at 9:02 am, he would have been absorbed into a brutal nightmare that killed 168 innocent people and casts a shadow over his life, and hundreds of thousands of others, forever.
Mora Federal Building near a truck bomb containing 4,850 lbs of ammonium nitrate fertilizers, nitromethane and diesel fuel, creating a hole and 30 feet and 8 feet.
The former soldier Timothy McVy, who was 27 years old at the time, and the planned Partner of Terry Nichols to avenge the government because of the perpetration of violations in the siege of Waku-of other things-exactly two years ago, was the worst work in terrorism in the United States before 9/11.
The daycare center was in the building where, tragicly, 19 children died.
It is estimated that more than 300,000 people know a person in it or was in the Alfred B. Federal Mora, which also included a satellite desk for law enforcement used, by the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives office (ATF).
McVeigh received the death penalty and was executed with deadly injection in 2001, with hundreds of friends of the victims and family on the closed circuit TV.
Nichols received 161 consecutive life periods without conditional release.
Oklahoma City bombing: A new documentary in Netflix was released, which shows in detail about the shocking, pure, pure act, this week to celebrate the lost life.
The most difficult time
It is a difficult and emotional watch for SpenGler, now 67 years old, which was at the heart of chaos, with almost an incomprehensible heroism.
Initially, it was believed that the explosion of the ear was a gas explosion and ran to the scene.
The cars saw the shock wave of the late Rider truck.
Glass everywhere was making his way to the front of the building, which now had a hole -like hole.
The scene was immediately a nightmare. “People were walking a few yards, a kind of zombie, then either lying or falling. Some of them have reached the sidewalk,” he remembered.
A firefighter quickly explained that the explosion was a bomb because “gas explosions blow asphalt, but the bombs blow asphalt.”
“Then I knew,” said SpenGler. “We had to get to work.”
Victims accumulate
People are taken out on the back panels in large numbers. Spengler says the recovery process soon became huge – ambulances, fire, rescue, and police. Two people were raised at the same time in each ambulance.
In the first hour, according to the doctor, 2.3 patients were transferred average every minute.
The injuries were severe. “I saw everything,” he said. “Crushing injuries, rupture, head injuries. One man had a pleasant goodness. I had a group.”
Work amid such tragic messy scenes took their fees.
While SpenGler and his colleagues were doing everything possible, tragic decisions were made in a second. “You had seconds to evaluate and determine what to do. That first two hours were very severe.”
In the documentary of Greg Tillaman, the doctor emotionally remembers to stop treating a young girl who dies and switching to another person “in the labor of death.”
“She was a little girl,” he said. “A catastrophic injury to the head … a clinical dead. I told them that we could not do anything. Another close -up woman has turned into cannon feed. Both were breathing, which means they were dying. I told someone to stay with the child, and transfer it to the temporary morgue.”
More people, including another child, were already on their way. He saw the sudden girl's mother. “I just have just waved,” he said. “Then get away.”
Some passers -by took an exception to what they saw and began to reprimand Spengler to suppose people leave death. They were homosexual on him.
The woman who gave priority, at the same time, suffers from a tremendous shock in the face.
He was ready to surrender and move to the next victim, but a firefighter handed him a pipe for breathing and urged him to “try again”.

“I had to remove the debris from her, her face was separate from her skull,” he said. “I entered the breathing tube, and brought it into an ambulance.”
Eight months later, the husband was included in a TV program. It was difficult for SpenGler now a real estate broker after 20 years of medicine, containing his emotions.
“It was great for her, very much for me. Her husband embraced me and said I was from her life back. But he didn't know that I was the person he had, just moments ago, he almost decided to allow her to die.”
As the nightmare continued, many participants in the rescue voltage were destroyed, and the daycare center was destroyed. The child Billy Olon was the first child recovery and the first death.
“We met with eyes,” I remembered Spengler.
The nightmare continues
More patients arrived, however one has never left his mind.
It is almost collapsing in crying at the end of the documentary, complaining about the moment when the new fear captured everyone by watching another bomb.
He interrupted his treatment of a young girl by an angry police officer who threatened to shoot Spengler unless he left immediately. It turned out that the device was a doll from the ATF office.
The suffering of leaving his patient to die was a terrible burden, even after three decades.
“He is still bothering me,” I admit.
Spengler worked mainly on the street but entered the building several times.
The leg of another girl was besieged under the concrete. Unable to get cell service, desperate search for bone surgeon began. “I went out, and two were standing there,” he said with a smile. “It was like God put them there.”
The unimaginable tragedies continued. He saw a nurse who was killed by the fall of the wreck. Despite his work in a night attack, Spengler continued incredibly working until 5 pm
The next day, he returned, helped a city to reach the atrocities.
His heroic efforts were beyond belief, but the 60 -year -old admitted in the United States that participating in Telman's movie was “difficult”.
He hopes to provide it with some closure.
He said, “You have to face it.”
“All the team training I had, no one trained me on the human factor,” Telman said. “The only thing I did not know is what I would do to I.”
The documentary was detonated after telling the Spengler story.
“The superheroes go to dangerous situations who know very well that they have great powers,” he told the United States newspaper. But this was a day for the real heroes.
“When people were walking in an incredibly dangerous situation, they could stay away from their lives, and then risked their lives to help save people, they had no way to know the influence for them for the rest of their lives.”
On one occasion, Crossfit Fanatic SpenGler continued to work as a Swat team during two different talismans in Florida between 1997 to 2003 and one year from 2009 to 2010.
Until he became a bodybuilder in his sixties.
“Karl was amazing life, but he carried some of this,” he added. “He has a conscience.”
Courage
Oklahoma responded to the nightmare with generosity. The ruler pointed out that the crime had decreased because “all the melodies were lining up around the mass awaiting blood.”
Dust may have settled – President Bill Clinton spoke with SpenGler about the screening process – but the pain remains.
“He changed me,” and saved Spulgler. “It made me more sympathetic, but it also made me maximum. You have, otherwise, to burn quickly.
“But the bombing was always present, at the back of my mind. When I saw the documentary, he was very fierce. I hope that people not only remember terror, but the way people responded. Humanity. The people who ran towards the rubble. This matters.”
