Do any of the military experts here know what it's like to get hit by one of those bombs? Can you actually see the thing coming or is it just too fast? Do you have even a millisecond of recognition of "oh shoot" (not exactly those words) before you're dead? Or is it just KABOOM!?

Do they just go right through the roof or walls?

Do they still use cluster and FAE bombs?

The videos of cluster bombs are just awesome.

Uh,....those who really know what it's like to get hit by one of those bombs aren't here to talk about it; just a guess mind you.

Though I'm sure that there is some ordinance type out there that can give you the mathematical calculations and statistical probabilities.

It's just KABOOM. Zarqawi never knew it was coming.

All the reports of his being alive on a gurney, while probably true, mean little. He survived the rubble falling about but not the concussion. Rung his bell...for the last time.

Overpressure bombing effects (or why Zarqawi still had a face after the bombing)
