I think that a lot of the money that the victims' families received were from private donations, not government money. The family that I know who lost their son used the money that they received to begin a scholarship foundation. I have heard of other families doing the same thing. I think that they are trying to take the pain of their loss and turn it into something positive.
I really don't know much about what happened in Oklahoma City regarding money. I remember watching television and thinking that it was probably the worst thing that I would ever see happen in the US. Sadly, I was wrong. Terrible, violent things happen all over the world for reasons that I will never comprehend. Perhaps because of the television coverage, September 11th resulted in an outpouring of compassion and generosity from all over the United States and the world. Funds were started, and people donated money. I am not sure why that didn't happen in Oklahoma City. I am actually surprised to learn that it didn't.
