No, I want to know where you believe they came from.

Nice try. You switched chemicals to fertilizer. Your strawman is on fire.

5 tons of fertilizer and diesel oil killed 168 people. 20 tons of fertilizer plus diesel oil(maybe 30 tons in all, I'm guessing here) would have to be detonated in a very densely populated area to kill 80,000 people. That's a very large trailer truck filled with explosives that will explode and not just burn. A technological feat far more sophisticated than that done by McVeigh.
