This is an awesome video. The primary source is great, and I really like how the volume of the music rises toward the end of the video. Great job.

I love this video! I'm proud for you, and I am proud of your dad for being able to give you such a good interview.

Geraldine,
I think your video does a good job of presenting a firsthand account of a terrible event. I was impressed with your dad's matter of fact voice as he described what had to be a terrible event to experience. I think he seemed to say: I had a job to do, I prepared and then did my job. I think it adds a first view of a major historical event.

Wonderful use of first person account, especially since it was your dad. It must have been hard for him to have to recall this terrible event, but give him a big hug and thank you from all Oklahomans!

How far is his station from the site? Is it an OKC station or surrounding area?

I enjoyed the perspective given by your dad; his personal account mixed with the pictures & music was poignant!
Great job!
