I don't know about that as I'm not an expert on explosions and their damage , but with what you guys know about acetylene and explosions, can you figure it out as to wheather or not it's true or not ? I'll let you guys argue it out. To me personally, I say that it could be true as I've seen a lot stranger things happen.

P.S. The reason that I found and posted this story is because while I was looking for a part to my welder, that I posted about on Tool Talk the other day at our local welding supply store , they had a paper posted about it.
It is good that Frank Earl isn't a bomb forensics expert, because he would be a bad one. His so-called inconsistencies in the direction metal is stretched & bent are just plain incorrect & his talk about the velocity front comparisons between ANFO & Ox/acetylene are also backwards. ANFO is used in rock quarry mining BECAUSE the explosive/velocity front is SLOW and this is desirable so as to break & crack the rock, not spread/launch rock all over the country side.
I claim the truck looks correct for explosion claimed.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
