Well, they had to keep increasing the amount of "fertilizer" to
justify the blast.  It started with a honda civic, then a rented
mini van, then the ryder truck.  first they said 1200 lbs, and people
said "can't get 1200 pounds in a civic. So they said a mini van, then
people said 1200 pounds wouldn't do that much damage, so they changed
their story to a truck with 2000 pounds, still unbelivable, so they
changed it again to 4800 pounds.  Some experts that they called in?
can't even get their story straight!
