The Oklahoma City bombing explosion blew the building's facade outward rather than creating a crater at the base.
The finding
What the evidence shows
There was a crater at the base of the blast, not just outward damage to the front of the building. Investigators documented a crater about 28 feet wide and nearly 7 feet deep just feet from the building's north entrance, and used its depth to estimate the bomb's size.
