If the alleged truck bomb did ALL OF THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING THEN WHY WAS THE HOLE IN THE STREET NOT OF SIMILAR SIZE/DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET ???


McVeigh knew quite a bit about explosives. The placement of explosives in the truck was not random. Explosives do not necessarily project force in all directions the same way. It is possible the explosives were arranged to direct most of the force toward the building, in a sort of “shaped charge” configuration.

McVeigh also used nitro-methane as an enhancer for the ammonium nitrate bomb. Nitro-methane works to enhance the brisance and strength of ammonium nitrate.

I understand the shaped part but how much metal/sandbags/etc to make that much of a difference ? No mention of any debris from that.
And I get the Nitro-methane too.

There’s also the fact that the fbi/atf office personnel were told not to come in to the office that day. And the Det Cord that was still hanging around the building that was cleared before anyone could check it out.

Just way too many loose ends for Me...

Col. Bo Gritz (sp?) had a great detailed paper about the whole thing.
