the smallest nuclear weapons conceived yield about .1 kt, or the equivalent of around 200,000 lbs of TNT.

FEMA calculated the OKC bomb at an equivalent of around 4,000 lbs of TNT, and you'll recall a less than orderly collapse.

I would think a blast of that size would have a very different effect on a skyscraper, so I'd rule out nukes.

As to the rest, it seems improbable and overly complex. But I certainly don't know enough about it to disprove the theory... did the authors? :shrug:
