So, you're saying that the right place for the bomb is in a truck parked at the curb out front of the building. Not a good argument for someone who knows EFT about EFT. Eventually, you'll be claiming you never bought the Clinton line about the bombing.
BTW, you look so natural snuggled up to that Clinton/Gore voting democrat you've been swapping spit with. Both of you wannabes belong on DU.
Yup. Here's what happened: The blast wave, traveling UPWARDS and outwards (Partin's infamous diagram ignores the vertical component--apparently he believes that buildings are two-dimensional entities with zero height), pushes on the floor slabs with many thousands of pounds per square foot. Floor loads are typically measured in tens of pounds per square foot--this is a few orders of magnitude beyond their design limits. The blast wave literally lifts the floor slabs up and pulls the external pillars up with them. It also pulverizes the closest footing pillar.
An interesting thing happens here: the transfer beam just rolled inward and landed without suffering structurally significant damage behind the footing pillars. Why did this happen?
Answer: The transfer beam was just resting on top of the footings, and wasn't permanently attached in any way (as is routinely done in California). The only thing holding the beam in place was the weight above it.
The floor slabs and the pillars, meanwhile, stop going upwards. They come down--and have zilch in the way of support, because the transfer beam they rested on is now on the ground. The building collapses.
So much for the building being "bomb-proof."

Well, your political affiliation is "Know-Nothing" for a reason.

Sorry, sonny boy. Timothy McVeigh did it with one bomb--with the assistance of Terry Nichols, Michael Fortier, and unknown others.
