At least this looks like it's one step up from the pixel pareidolia.

As usual a one-liner instead of addressing the info...

Good morning conspiracybeliever.
Since you seem to believe that you are on to something, can you kindly tell us what other buildings are wired to blow so we can do something about it ahead of time? JPK |

The usual misinterpretaton. I meant that this looks like this would take a bit more work to shoot down than your earlier instance of screaming bloody murder at every white pixel that wasn't where it should have been.
Then again, I know more about digital artifacts than I do about measuring explosive forces. |

Roxdog is dodging again:

Other points is that the bomb went off near the loading section (not exactly the most weakest section of the building) and was exploded near the edge of the building. Add to that is that the building was a brick structure, wheras the Murrah building had large glass windows. Even so, it seems that the building required supports to keep it from collapsing, note the pictures at this link: http://www.madison.com/library/LEE/sterlinghall.html The Wisconsin was also set by radicals with little clue. Given the fact that it ended the sizeable anti-war protests on the campus cold, it almost seems to be more likely to be the result of conspiracy than OK City. Apples to Oranges. With a CT twist on top. But hey. I'm just guessing with a bit logic. Let's hear all the Structural Engineers, Demolition Experts, and other relevant fields who've studied the cases for the past 10-30years and see how much they agree with the CT. Surely in all this time many of them have spoken out on this topic, right? |

It requires no explanation from us as none of us are making a claim. BUt what the hey. Different explosions under different circumstances on differnet buildings will cause different effects.
Now perhaps you would care to explain what evidence you have that the explosion at the Alfred P Murrah building should have had the same effect as the one in your photo. |

The van was not parked anywhere near that arrow though.
The bomb used AN & jet fuel. Sterling Hall was devastated and 19 other buildings were damaged to varying degrees. |

Who said that, excepting you automatic straw man generator? I frankly am not familiar with the guy. But I don't care WHO you are, a first impression from a picture is no substitute for actual examination of the wreckage. WHy does his examination from a picture trump the examination of the investigators who were there? Beyond the obvious fact that his words (and we don't even know wha the context of them was) favor your conspiracy theory? |

What info? I see pictures with quotes. Hardly hypothesis there for us to analyse and respond to.
Provide a complete and cogent hypothesis with as much data as you have, then you can expect an answer. Otherwise go find some friends to agree with you and stop bothering us with your picture books. At least Mas & Co. provide us with fun pics, yours are just meaningless. |

Jet fuel is kerosene, btw.
Newspaper accounts have it as 1700 pounds, 4 - 55 gallon drums. |

Intelligent conspirators, these. At the WTC, where, we are told, the building should have fallen outwards, they set up the buildings so as to collapse in on themselves as in a controlled demolition, but in Oklahoma, where the building should have been "blown in", they set it up so that it would look as if it had been "blown out".
Can't they get anything right? |

Some of that data is incorrect, Timothy McVeigh's Ryder Truck (according to the Crime Library) carried a 4,000LB ammonium nitrate bomb, not 2,000LB. As we all hopefully know, doubling the amount of explosive increases exponentially the size of the blast. A 4,000LB ammonium nitrate bomb would have roughly 8x the explosive power of the 2,000LB blast.
I also found a site on the University of Wisconsin bombing, the van carrying the 2,000lb was not flush with the building,but parked in a delivery are. The picture that has been providecis the rebuilt portion of the University building, damaged bricks that were structurally sound were left in place.the damage to the building was mainly from concussion and fire. |

It looks like the van was considerably further away than "8ft from a column". |

I doubt that's often possible, but I think it would be good for us (as a society of free voters, not to mention the jury in a subsequent trial of the accused) to be given accurate and truthful information on what happened. I'm not sure that occurred after the Oklahoma City attack. |

Well, he believes the Murrah building was blown up by leftists to try to get America mad at the militias. He believes that TWA 800 was shot down by missiles, that someone (the government, the Branch Davidians themselves -- I'm not clear) placed a large demolitions charge in the Waco compound and that flight 93 was also shot down by missiles. He may be correct about all of these things, but yeah, I'd say that puts him into conspiracy theorist neighborhood.
But that's not relevant -- we address facts here, not people. I just found it interesting that he was being cited by someone who apparently doesn't believe that flight 93 was shot down. I was just curious as to how you weighed his evidence to come to agree with him about Oklahoma City but not about Shanksville, is all. |

That is preposterous. Most of you guys will actually go and look for mostly irrelevent dirt on someone before you even address their assertions. You got a few badasses here, I will definitely give you that. Chipmunk comes to mind. But to say "oh, we address facts here, not people" is laughable at best.
And considering there were people yelling all this stuff at Clinton's Justice Department within days of the bombing with him ignoring it and blaming it on his "vast right wing conspiracy", I'd say there might be something to Partin's assessment. |

What I find funny, I did a quick google on Gen. Partin and I'm finding all these CT web sites telling me about his record, but I'm not finding a copy of his record,assignments, etc.
