QUESTION: Jayna, what can you tell us about the steel in the building? ANFO burns about 17,000 feet per second, it takes and wave front of at least 20,000fps to cut steel, so... how do they explain the descrepency? Also how big was the crater where the truck was parked? Thankx Chode

I am not an demolitions or explosives expert. But this is what I found regarding the composition and construction of the bomb that is documented in the court record.
I have confirmed through briegs filed in the trial of Timothy McVeigh and three independent intelligence sources that two Israeli bomb experts surveyed the damage to the Murrah Building two weeks after the blast.
One of those experts served the chief of security for the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. and the second official was a civil engineer and consultant to the Israeli government.
Their authority and knowledge in the arena of explosives analysis is undisputed.
The two Israeli explosives experts ultimately concluded in a three page report that the bomb that destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building bore an indisputable Middle Eastern signature and that the it was constructed by Arab terrorists or people trained by Arab terrorists.
McVeigh’s attorney, Stephen Jones, attempted to obtain a copy of the final three-page report but became exasperated with the court when the DOJ only released one page of raw notes generated by the Israeli experts, which was absent the smoking gun conclusion of a Middle Eastern earmarks.
