Shaped charge explosives and the oklahoma city bombing

[amywy88]

Im writing an essay about shaped charge explosives, and am supposed to relate this back to the oklahoma city bombing as it was reported that McVeigh had demonstrated how he would create a shaped charge to maximise the damage to the Murrah building.

I dont see how the barrels he had in the van could create a shaped charge?

Anybody know anything about this? I would really appreciate some help!

There's lots of stuff about McVeigh's "logic" over this on the internet. Just google "shaped charge explosive barrels oklahoma" to see for yourself.

i will say that his theories have been largely dismissed, but you really do need to sit down and sift through the stuff yourself. Remember that the marker of your essay will expect to see the arguments for both sides.

I have done, many websites mention it do with a conspiracy theory but it is also in the legal transcripts from the court case. But I am struggling to find any actual information regarding the bomb itself!

Ive found the answer now!! Suprisingly the addition of barrels to my google search found exactly what I needed, silly google (or silly me!) Thanks for your help!!!!
