More than 300 buildings in downtown Oklahoma City were damaged in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The exact number reported varies slightly by source, with specific figures including:
  • 347 buildings damaged, impacting a 20-block area of downtown Oklahoma City.
  • 324 buildings destroyed or damaged within a 16-block radius.
  • More than 300 properties damaged in a 48-square-block area, according to the City of Oklahoma City's Final Report.
The blast shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings and caused an estimated $652 million worth of damage. Sixteen buildings were eventually torn down due to irreparable damage, including the Athenian office building and the Oklahoma Water Resources Board building directly across the street from the Murrah Building.


and yet, somehow, miraculously, ONE (1) yellow ryder truck filled with ANFO caused this amount of catastrophic damage.........

Yea seems pretty spot on for a truck crammed with 5000lbs of explosives. Again, what is not tracking for you?
