A rocket launcher was found in the debris of the Murrow Building bombing.

The folks who were going through the debris did actually find a rocket launcher in the wreckage of the building. There's even a picture of it in the final action report about the bombing. It sounds completely outlandish that there would be a rocket launcher in the debris of a building, but it's important to remember there were multiple different law enforcement agencies that had offices there. The DEA, Secret Service, and ATF all had regional offices in the building, so some of the stuff that would end up being found would obviously not be what you'd expect in a normal pile of debris. Bill is exploiting the normal reaction a person would have to hearing about a rocket launcher being found in order to insinuate that something nefarious is going on. He doesn't offer any explanation for why this find might not be as weird as it sounds. He just repeats it as gossip that may be true and is being covered up, maybe! Or maybe it's just bad intel. It was true, and it's not that weird. And no one was covering it up.

The FBI released raw video of the Oklahoma City bombing day in 2009, but key surveillance footage is claimed to not exist.

In 2009, the FBI released some raw video of the day of the bombing, and other surveillance tapes have come out. The key video that everyone would want, however, has been said to not actually exist. In court, Richard Williams, the then-assistant building manager, testified that the cameras outside the Murrah building, quote, had not been operational for at least two years before the bombing. That sounds pretty wild, but from my experience, a not insignificant number of security cameras you may see in places are props.

Two seismological events registered on the morning of April 19, 1995, were caused by low and high frequency signals traveling at different rates from a single explosion, not two separate explosions.

The fact that there were two waves registered on the seismograph was of interest to researchers, so they studied the phenomenon further. What they ended up figuring out is that this was the result of low and high frequency signals traveling at slightly different rates. The low-frequency signal made it the 16 miles from the bomb site to the seismograph in Norman a few seconds prior to the high-frequency signal.
