I spent many many hours inside the perimeter in the days following the bombing, working with the USAR and FEMA teams. The details they gave us as far as how the explosion destroyed the building were as follows.

The truck bomb explosion lifted up the front of the Murrah building, compromising one or two of the main horizontal supports on the north side. When the weight of the upper floors came back down, the supports failed and the upper floors crashed through the remaining lower floors. Hence the huge rubble pile in the front middle of the building.

The hole was not blown out of the building, essentially, the hole was created when the unsupported north side of the building collapsed on itself.

I don't know if this explanation helps or hurts anyone's theory, it's just one we were given from the architectural / engineering teams working the site.

Conspiracy theory *bump*

I would be inclined to suspect Islamic terrorists, except they usually like to have their cause well known. Certainly, by now some group would have sent a tape to al Jazeera claiming to have pulled off OK, TWA, or any others they could claim, if there was a chance at all of claiming it.

“I was in my office at my desk signing papers and all of a sudden the building began to shake,” said Lawton. “The lights went out, debris started falling and then something hit me on the head and knocked me out before the truck bomb ever went off.”

That doesn't even make sense.
