I found a picture of what appears to be a crater, only this is inside the Murrah Building.

This is a photo of the "Pit" -- an area just to the west of the "Bite" where the upper floors did not collapse, but was surrounded by huge piles of debris in areas that *did* collapse. It is only a depression relative to the surrounding mounds of debris. The ground floor slab is just below the bottom of the column at right center.
The following caption goes with the photo in #158 from the above link.
I apologize to all for the mistake in suggesting it was the Murrah Building.I found the photo at a site suggesting it was the Murrah Building, incorrectly.
WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING
On February 26, 1993, an explosion occurred in the World Trade Center. The explosion caused six deaths, 1042 injuries, and nearly $600 million in property damage. Two ATF National Response Teams (NRT) responded to assist the NNew York City Police Department and the FBI in the investigation. Also assisting in the investigation were the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Customs Service, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the New York and New Jersey State Police. An IRT member working with a New York City Police Department Bomb Squad investigator uncovered the key piece of evidence. Uncovered was a vehicle identification number from a van that had been rented but reported stolen the day prior to the explosion. Their recovery ultimately led to the identification and indictment of seven co-conspirators, four of whom have been prosecuted. The evidence linked the defendants to the purchase of chemicals and hydrogen tanks used to manufacture the bomb, to the rental of the shed to warehouse the chemicals and later the bomb, and the rental of the van that contained the bomb. 1993 Explosives Incident Report, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fireams
