FWIW, I saw some of the original footage of the crime scene, a bench by the side of the road. The area was taped off with the yellow police state and every last vestige of the bench was gone but there was no damage to the concrete pad or the landscaping around the bench. Everything was spotless. Now I know that the fire depaqrtment might take a hose to clean up blood and such but no one is going to put a scene right after an event like this.
My point? It wasn't much of a bomb. It might have taken out the nimrod and the bench but that is all this explosive did.

I have seen a photo taken before the bench was replaced which showed a large black scorch mark on the concrete pad, directly in front of where the original bench was. The mark was obviously cleaned before the new bench was put in.
