The location of the tower being roughly one city block from the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building led to a severe impact which proved the integrity of the structure. Aside from broken glass, internal ceiling and wall damage, and a few injuries to residents the building was deemed structurally sound and residents were able to return just months after one of the largest terrorist bombings in American history.

Residents began moving back into the tower on 2 October 1995. It was officially reopened on 26 October 1995 following repairs which reportedly cost $5 million. [4] [5]
