The explosion - apparantly timed for just after 9 a.m., when the

workers were at their jobs - also killed and maimed people on the

street, overturned and ignited cars, heavily damaged six nearby

buildings, blew out windows for blocks around and set scores of

fires that laid a pall of black smoke over the city of 440,000 in

west-central Oklahoma.
