Imagine the pressure wave of a nuke, but not nuclear

Whenever we launch stuff or drop weird bombs I always just assume they are about to expire so the guy in charge would rather sign off on blowing it up than do a life extension or something

So how destructive is this bomb? I have hard time visualizing it.

My boss is a retired USAF LtCol who flew C-130s/-141s/-5s/-17s and apparently has seen a MOAB device in person at some point. The TL;DR rundown he just gave myself and another co-worker is its pressure alone will fairly effectively gently caress poo poo up.

Our watch team got to see something really cool live, the rest of us, knowing what it was and what was happening were told that they'd pop the recording really quick at meal time so we could all enjoy. Then they chickened out because while the live feeds were all good they had already tagged the recording as SCI.

It has an effective blast radius about the same as the two small nukes we dropped on Japan. (approx 1 mile)

Your facts are fake.
Here is a visual example of the two bombs, the MOAB doesn't even compare.

That and the MOAB is about .1% as powerful as Little Boy and even less compared to Fat Man.

Here's a fun story. Donnie wants to reward all of his sycophants, so he gives some salesdouche a spot in the EPA because he was on some environmental services department of a county for a few years. Then, the douche pissed the EPA off so bad by being a moron that he was left out of meetings and eventually kicked out.

So, Donnie nominated him for another position in the government, but they copy-pasted his environmental background in the announcement, which will serve him well in
