Well, I cannot say for sure whether all the firemen evacuated the building. I was not in the building proper. I do know that the area was evacuated. I do know, that many of the evacuees were firemen and other LEOs. I can't say for sure all of the firemen left. But for a time, there was the belief that there was a second explosive. Regardless of what it was, it was believed for a time to be an explosive. The order was given to evacuate. And the order was given to all emergency personnel. I heard the order. And as I said, I was led from the scene by firemen. I cannot fault any of them. But again, I don't believe that there were other unexploded bombs in the building. We were allowed to return too quickly. There, in my mind, is no way that they could have that quickly removed, as you call it, additional unexploded bombs in the Murrah Building. in the small time we were out. I believe it was the one truck bomb. Nothing more. Nothing less. I have heard that speculation for 7 years now. But most of those speculating that are people who never stood at the base of that building. I did. It was IMO, the Ryder truck bomb. Nothing more.

It appears you are unfamiliar with the work of Benton K. Partin Brigadier Gen. USAF (Ret.).

I highy recommend reading the report. I can summarize it for you. Based on the known laws of physics, it was impossible for the Ryder truck alone to do the damage that occurred to the Murrah Building.

Are you familiar with the Eglin study?
