"....WOW, a one mile blast radius. Rock and roll!.."
Ya know what's even more exciting? A one mile blast radius means a TWO MILE diameter from ground zero.
Damn that's a big bomb....

they had to fly do drop the older Daisy Cutter which descended by parachute.
Was trying to remember the foggy days of Vietnam. They dropped Daisy Cutters on Hanoi? Without looking I hink they were 12,000 lbs and dropped with a parachute? Gads memory needs an upgrade. No not a vet just remember the stories and such

Someone else may have done this on this thread, but I wanted to add this just in case.
This MOAB bomb was estimated to carry 21,600 lbs of TNT. LINK
That is 10.53 tons of TNT. (1 ton = 2000 pounds)
Definition of a kiloton: LINK
The Hiroshima bomb was pegged at 15 thousand tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb was pegged at 21 thousand tons of TNT. LINK
