Don't need to read something that lengthy it takes a lot of Newtons of force suddenly applied to do that kinda of damage. A fertilizer bomb from the exterior parking lot just wouldn't do it.

Actually, the truck was parked in the street (in a curb cut) immediately in front of the building. (That's where the crater was.)

Nonetheless, the center of the crater was 16.4 ft from the closest column -- G20(A5) -- well beyond the demonstrated brisant radius. And the localized damage done to column G16(A7) and the associated section of 3rd floor transfer beam -- over 50 feet away (with no intervening damage to the beam) -- is totally inconsistent with air blast.

Exterior parking lot? A little reading might not hurt...;-}
