I read somewhere that these things have to be shoved out of the cargo bay of a C130 and make a crater about 5 football fields wide. Is that really true?

Not a daisy cutter here, it is a Fuel Air Explosive (FAE), essentially a big tank of propane that gets ripped open before it hits the ground with delayed ignitors that cause it to explode. Result: instant hell for anyone who appens to be near.
