Long ago I think(?) I read an article somewhere, and I cannot remember where! It had diagrams of how Harney's explosives would work, and how the floor above would cave in. If all went as planned, Lincoln and others in the room above the explosives would probably have been killed, maimed, etc. Does anyone remember such an article?

The exact same information was given in a documentary on TV about five years ago (as well as a discussion of using a sniper to get Lincoln). I want to say it was on Nat Geo? Maybe in an accompanying issue of their magazine?

Thanks, Laurie. Rick sent the following information:

Roger,

I saw your post regarding the diagram of the force and impact of an explosive charge being set off in the White House; I think under the room where Lincoln and his cabinet customarily would meet. I saw a program regarding this a couple of years ago on the discovery channel. The program was well done, and explained how charges could be set and detonated, and what the result would be. The program also explained that The operatives and explosives were captured before they could go into operation.

The program was very detailed and most interesting. It was amazing to me that someone had put this information together. I have known about it for quite a while, but figured that no one would be all that interested. I am glad that they were.
