@Maw no way to ever know if there were people in the buildings.

We can guess that he was alive due to the coincidental timing of the explosion, the delay of the timer, and the cameras on the RV.

Cool, doesn't really change things.

So you still think it was that binary explosive?

It could be any type of explosive that allows you to be conscious when detonating it in this scenario most likely.

Idk...

Then you have many questions to ask about that kinda suggest this theory isn't plausible.

1) Timing was extremely convenient as the police passed the RV moments before they turned the corner and it detonated.
2) Cameras on the RV.
3) Significant delay from after the countdown of 15 minutes passed 0 for dozens of minutes afterward.
4) Triggered after the final sentence was completed.

Okay...

I honestly had assumed that it was similar to the bomb (just smaller) used by the fool in OKC

Perhaps not...

Well, yah. Now it seems like it was gas

Not to me!

gases, not liquid gasoline

It was probably natural gas

Or acetylene and oxygen

I just don't get how he could fill that old shabby RV with enough of that stuff and keep it concentrated long enough to make that sort of explosion without rendering himself unconscious well before the explosion

If dude had converted his RV to run on natural gas he wouldn't get a second look with natural gas tanks in the RV.

scuba gear maybe

They almost certainly would have found a giant oxygen canister.

They're like 1-3 inch thick steel.

I guess... they didnt find much of him

True

I honestly don't know

Again, these canisters can actually just bounce off 50 caliber rounds.

@busillis did you get your bbq?

I went to some other place that was close it was actually very good...

Now I'm over here at the Hilton by the REI place.

Well it depends. My PopPop had that portable oxygen tank and it most certainly could not have withstood a 50 Caliber

Gasoline engines can be easily converted to run on natural gas.

Don't think so, no.

Would likely overheat.

I was actually on that same street the day before

Gasoline is actually used as a coolant in combustion as well.

Any gasoline engine can be converted to run on natural gas.

I live in Chattanooga and I drove to Nashville to pick up my best friend and she rode to Memphis with me

Then you wouldn't look like a weirdo riding around with natural gas tanks in your vehicle.

Is there any truth to his ex girlfriend telling police he was building a bomb in his RV and no one even bothered to check up on it?

They checked up on him but what can they do no crime no search warrant?
