As I pointed out in another post, people on the 11th floor didn't hear the
actual explosion loudly enough to find it suspicious, so the failure to hear
rifle fire is hardly incredible. I work in a conventional office
building--if someone fired a rifle a floor above me and at the opposite end
of the building, I doubt I'd hear it. More particularly, if the rifle were
pointed out the window at the time, I'd be even less likely to hear it.
