They blew it up in the Panhandle. Here in Tampa-Bay area - not a sound.

Reporting on the test, Dan Rather proclaimed:
"The amount of hot air produced by the MOAB is nothing compared the amount of hot air I expell in just oone newscast."

Due to EPA regulations, it has to be equipped with a muffler and catalytic converter, hence no sound.

This is the e-mail I received from a guy working for me at Eglin AFB:
"Just heard the thing go off 15 minutes ago. Made a large rumble and bang....expect the French to surrender anytime now!!!"

"Due to EPA regulations, it has to be equipped with a muffler and catalytic converter, hence no sound."
I will guess the same restrictions do not apply when Saddam gets to hear it.

Both news accounts said they were trying to get film and only interviewed people by phone or USAF Gens. in studio.
Sorry.

For those of you who make a hobby out of this stuff -- is there any merit to thinking this bomb could be used to extinguish oil field fires by depriving them of oxygen?

Knowing MSNBC, I'm surprised someone didn't go behind the lines and get a test shot.

Considering Eglin AFB is on central time and it's only 1:45, how do we know the results of a 2 p.m. test?

They dropped it at 2:00 eastern, 1:00 Central. That's how we know.
