UPDATE: 5:30 p.m. — The three buses parked in the South Oval from yesterday's bombing are now gone. OU Police have also left the scene. The only vehicle left from earlier today is a white limo, which was parked behind the three buses.
The South Oval has returned to normal, with people sitting around the fountains and walking freely in the areas blocked off Saturday following the detonation.
The only sign that a bombing occured is yellow tape surrounding the area where Joel Hinrichs, the 21-year-old engineering student, was killed. A bench also used to be here.
Wow, such a big bomb that it left no whole in the ground or broke any windows.
Broke the bench, but left no marks on the floor, didn't shatter any windows, destroyed his body, heard 4 miles away, (but was it heard on the tape of the game?).
When I was a child, we built a toy cannon, and decided to try it out. We found a few shotgun shells, and opened them up (and lived to tell the tale). We packed as much powder as we could into our cannon, put some bb's in, lit it, and promptly blew the back off the cannon, while peppering a house a 1/4 mile away with bb's. I couldn't hear for about 4 hours after that.
Maybe he made a pipe bomb because he thought it would be funny, and put too much powder in, and blew himself to bits?
Oh, I know it isn't likely, and doesn't go with the suicide meme, or the terrorist attack theme.
