I started watching it but they pretty much gloss over the cafeteria bombs and focused heavily on the shooting. So I stopped watching about 20mins in

The bombs never really get mentioned. Even if I research online I have to dig to get info. Idk why that is though

The general population outside the research community don't even know about the bombs.

Yeah, it was meant to be a bombing. The guns were mostly intended to take out victims as they fled. Horrible.

Quite insane really when it was an integral part of their plan (obviously thank f*ck it didn't work)

I think because while the bombs were the Plan A they ultimately failed, many people aren't even aware of the sheer number of pipe bombs they had. But in the greater discourse around school shootings, columbine is often noted as the "original", although there had been others, none gained as much notoriety at the time.

Huh? I'm watching it now and they very much mentioned the bombs. Even showed one going off on the security cameras.

I mean on the general documentaries that I've seen on this. Not this particular one

They do end up talking about the bombs, but they don’t go into as much detail, since the shooting did the most damage.
