Quote from Tacoma :
It depends on the type and amount of explosive used. Five or ten pounds of Semtex, HMX or octanitrocubane can level the entire building ..... these explosives are difficult to obtain. Most likely the perp is using black powder, which will destroy the room and most likely kill everyone inside.
Or napalm, or a nitrogen-based explosive. You really have no clue what he's using; don't assume.

My point was that evacuation > staying in the building.
management want to make sure that the evacuation path is clear instead of just running out of the bldg, we don't know where the armed man will run.

According to a post on his Web site, Lee said he was thrown "in the nut house" for four days following his arrest.

If he is suicidal, it's too bad he couldn't have just done himself in rather than drag others into it.

So if most people only get their hands on "mediocore" explosives, what was used in the Oklahoma City case?

Oklahoma City would have been considered "mediocore" explosives

Glad you made it out ok.. It will be nice when a sniper takes this guy down.
What he did was far worse than drowning a few puppies.

I'd actually like to see the sniper shot turn him into a quadripalegic rather than kill him.

It would be LMAO to see this guy endure a lifetime of suffering.
