Blowing up the White House - any interest?

I've also wondered whether the type of explosives they would've used would've had enough power to cause that kind of damage, at least in the amounts that realistically could've been moved there covertly. Although explosives can be more powerful placed strategically in a building than on the ground. However, I'm not an expert on the subject. Maybe a TV show like either NOVA or Mythbusters could test whether those types of explosives would've been able to inflict that much damage.
