From Staff Reports
NORMAN -- An explosion near the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord Family-Memorial Stadium killed one person Saturday, OU officials said.

The explosion happened at the courtyard near the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building on OU's campus, which is west of the stadium, according to Sgt. Gary Robinson of the University police department.

The explosion happened during the second quarter of Oklahoma's game against Kansas State.

After the explosion, police set up a perimeter of several blocks and made fans exit the stadium to the east.

"Some people have approached the Grassy Knoll stage here "

I think of them as the group that goes diving under their desks when someone pops a loud fart in the hallway.

I also think the MSM would love this to be an Islamic suicide bomber ..Then they could spin it as usual to be an anti Bush story and how he's doing nothing to protect us at home while he fights his illegal waroverseas blah blah blah...the usual crap out of the Marsist Media.
I dont see a cover up , just a lack of anything new to report since the last reports last night.

Interesting. I am guessing the higher explosives burn at such a fast rate they don't have time to produce a lot of smoke. Would that be correct?

I'm not a chemist or chemical engineer, so I'm not really certain. I think it has more to do with completeness of combustion, and what the by products of the combustion process are. Black powder still produces white smoke, so much that battlefields were soon obscured once the shooting started, especially if artillery was involved. In the Spanish American war the Spainish had a big advantage in using the then new "smokeless" powder in their Mausers, while the US forces were still using black powder in their Krag-Jorgenson's and older Springfields (Regulars and Rough Riders had the Krags, National Guard units had the older single shot weapons). The Spainish, particularly their artillery could just shoot at the smoke, while the Americans had to see the muzzle flashes, which is not always all that easy in daylight.

"Well, why don't you tell me why you think there is a cover up here . I say there is simply a lack of facts righ tnow and there is no thing to warrent a suggestion that this was a mini 9/11 inthe works."

Nice. Try and reverse it.

I asked you to justify the lack of coverage on this story when other inconsequential stories (like Paris Hilton) get major play.

You can't and you to try to reverse the argument.

Hint: It's spelled "warrant".

Yes my husband and child were there 4 blocks south and the police told them it was a power surge the whole day. They only knew the truth when I got thru to them on their cells.

Looking at word and reading for content using your brain are two different things. If you have something constructive to add, some logic or thought process, we'd love to hear it. If all you want to do is cut others down, leave. I've said all I'm going to say to you otherwise.

" Good things can happen by smothering the story."

Yeah....We become what Americans used to call Pravda. It also reminds of the death trains durring WWII. That story was covered up too at the time.

Actually, some of us are concluding there is a problem because of the facts we know, and which are not being reported.

I told you my reasons .Lack of anything new to report.Lets hear your theory.They know it's an Islamic plot here and they dont want us all to know , is that your implication ?
They focus on crap stories because of a dumbed down public who like to read trash .

Personally I think the MSM is waiting for confirmation that it was a White Male Conservative Pro Life Christian Fundamentalist Republican. Now THAT would be news they would love to print. That story would have legs like the Bush National Guard story.

Unless the dead person left a highly visible note or video, someone has to turn up missing for an identification.

With most people, even being blown up with a big bomb will leave at least a charred wallet with some surviving piece of plastic. Assuming the bomber didn't deliberately leave wallet and ID at home.

Good morning Dave.
Thanks for the link Oxen.Last night, first reports were scant, then disappeared. Then rumors of pipe bombs surfaced. Hmmm...
If this Blogger's report is accurate, that his house shook a mile away, then pipe bomb is out. Only a couple things could produce a large blast and be portable.

the point is that we will never get the facts, if the media isn't asking any questions or providing any coverage. its that coverage, and those questions, that will drive authorities to get the facts out.

you don't think the system works that way, that absent attention, the first desire is to coverup? I have two words for you - ABLE DANGER.

Stop being obnoxious . I've read and understood all I've seen here. So far the story gives me no indication of a wider plot or terrorist intentions . Thats my opinion , just as others have expressed theirs here .
