Those flimsy sides on the truck would have blow away in the shock wave, at the very least. At that distance from the epicenter the shock wave PSI is measured in thousands of pounds. The side of that truck is 8’x20’ rough estimate. 160sg ft x 144 sq in per sq foot. 17,280 sq” or 17,280,000 lbs per on that side panel.

Absolutely no way that truck was there when the explosion went off.

Not to mention that all that clean white paint on the panel sides and the cab isn’t even singed, hell, isn’t even dirty. That paint must be some sort of miraculous Billy Mays product!
