**Some conspiracy theories are:**
 * An explosion originating from a truck would have a caused a different kind of damage to the building.
 * The shape of the destroyed building indicates an explosion from inside.
 * Some people near the building noticed two explosions.
 * If the explosion originated from the truck there should have been a crater.
 * Some people saw an Arab male with Timothy McVeigh just prior to the explosion.
 * The president of the United States gave this Arab male free passage out of the country.
 * Some government workers were paged not to go to work that day.
 * The Sheriff's bomb squad assembled near the building a few hours prior to the explosion.
 * Police and firefighters testified that they saw federal agents removing unexploded devices.
 * Gen. Benton K. Partin, the former head of Air Force weapons development program and a man with multiple engineering degrees and over 30 years experience, was barred access to the site after he pointed out that the asymmetrical damage was inconsistent with a single external explosion. Partin concluded that demolition charges attached to the damaged support columns had to have been used.
 * Oklahoma City paramedic Tiffany Bible, among the first EMT's to arrive, swore under affidavit that she had seen Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents in full gear. The gear takes about 30 minutes to put on. She asked if they were injured and was told by the agents no they were called and told not to come in that morning before the explosions occurred.
 * A second and third bomb, more destructive than the first, were found and defused by authorities and reported by local media. The information was mysteriously censored by national press.
 * According to conclusions of Brigadier General Benton K. Partin, the building appears to have been destroyed by the detonation of explosives carefully placed at four critical junctures on supporting columns within the building. Blast through air is a very inefficient energy coupling mechanism against heavily reinforced concrete beams and columns, andProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 oxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 oxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 0some suspect that there were contact explosives within the building. In the words of the Brigadier, "the total incompatibility with a single truck bomb lies in the fact that either some columns collapsed that should not have collapsed or some of the columns are still standing that should of collapsed and did not.
