Saw an old video of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and something felt off to me

I was watching some footage from the original news coverage of the Murrah building aftermath yesterday. They kept saying a bomb in a rented truck did all that damage, but the crater size and the way the whole front of the building peeled off just doesn't match what I've seen from other truck bombs in conflicts overseas. Some people online argue the government used controlled demolition to make it look like a truck bomb, but others say it was just the design of the building that made it collapse weird. I'm stuck on which side has better evidence. What do you all make of the difference in damage patterns from that day?

Lol guess OSHA forgot to inspect that truck bomb for proper demolition procedure. Sounds like the concrete just couldn't handle a Tuesday without a conspiracy theory attached lmao.

Yeah you gotta make sure the mix is right for the pour before it sets or you'll get cracks like that every time. A good batch of concrete won't just fall apart from a little pressure.

Reminds me of my driveway pour back in '07. Had to redo half of it.
