One month after the April 19, 1995, Oklahoma City bombing (search) that killed 168 people, authorities demolished what was left of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (search). Officials said the implosion was a necessary part of the psychological recovery for the citizens of Oklahoma City. But critics question the FBI’s tactics and argue the building came down too soon and the implosion is one piece of a government cover-up. Survivor VZ Lawton remembers the events after the attack. “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.” Lawton and some others believe Timothy McVeigh (search) — who was convicted of federal conspiracy and murder charges in the bombing and executed in 2001 — and convicted conspirator Terry Nichols (search) weren't alone in plotting the attack. During the investigation the FBI circulated sketches of “John Does” and in response received thousands of conflicting tips from across the country.

I remember reading it, but I no longer have it. I hope somebody still has it so he/she can share with us.
Without turning this into a blasting seminar, it is my understanding that simply pouring oil on fertilizer is possible, but that ANFO takes a hefty punch to get going in the first place, and that simply pouring fuel oil into it is not the path to blasting success.
The OKC blast was remarkably strong. Shoddy ANFO would only have spread fertilizer around in a big mess.
Also, was it not determined the leg belonged to a woman? So there is a woman out there who was also involved. I say "involved" because had she not been, there would have been a hospital report.
The leg was initially buried with a woman but was later determined it was not her leg.

Sorry for the double post. Something went too slow, and I thought I hadn't posted correctly.
Why would it? Especially if the two shocks are from the same type of source.
Thank you for the photo. It's beautiful.
Any attempt to expose the obvious and developing pattern of terrorist acts, as well as the incompetence (sanctioned or incidental) and possible criminal misrepresentation of facts and events leading up to 9/11 would backfire.
First, it would be seen as a late rebuttal to Fahrenheit 911, which is so shabby it does not bear a reply.
Second, the MSM would not recant, after having sold the 'official' versions of events, and instead would represent the entire thing as a partisan attempt to 'smear' Hillary.
Then they would start stumping for the 'poor wronged Hillary vote', victim of Bill's philanderings, victim of the VRWC, yadda yadda yadda. Victims are what the Democrats are all about. They are the base.
You get the picture.
Unfortunately, there is still a significant population of true believers and useful idiots who would suck this stuff up and use it to promote Hillary, quite possibly successfully.
They were later explained away as having been some sort of reverberation or refraction effect.
I am a geologist, not a geophysicist per se, but I didn't buy it. Two explosions, two shockwaves.
There is so much out there on this but it seems the MSM isn't saying a word..COuld it be because it was during the Clinton years?
Isn't it amazing how the government think we are so stupid?
Believe that?
If that is the case, that would explain why the support columns by the daycare failed when the truck bomb should not have taken them out.
It also means they were, in aggregate, probably as or more powerful than the ANFO bomb in the truck.
If that sort of foul-up was on the Feds, no way they would want to own it.
Will you add me to your ping list please? Thanks!
IIRC, ANFO is only 40% of the punch from an equal amount of TNT.
Conspiracy theory *bump*
Thanks for the ping!
