I’m glad they dropped it, but disappointed in the delivery METHOD. I realize that the weapon is too large and heavy to fit in a bomber’s bomb bay. But seeing that pallet go rolling out of the plane, and the weapon falling away from the pallet and dropping toward earth, from a plane travelling 100+ mph; I doubt if the weapon impacted within 5 miles of the actual cave where the ragheads were/still are. Good shock & awe, maybe. But that’s all.
I bet the Nork’s pissed in their pants when they saw that mushroom cloud in Afghanistan.
NK is full of cave complexes and the goal was probably to test the effectiveness of the bomb.
36 bodies were identified. The weapon is guided by maneuverable fins on the back.
Its always raining and gloomy where you are, huh?
North Korea - - with their massive underground nuclear test facilities - - got a message: The United States has more air blast bombs... and we’re willing to drop ‘em...

How North Korea could kill 90 percent of Americans
by AMBASSADOR R. JAMES WOOLSEY, DR. PETER VINCENT PRY

The mainstream media, and some officials who should know better, continue to allege North Korea does not yet have capability to deliver on its repeated threats to strike the U.S. with nuclear weapons. False reassurance is given to the American people that North Korea has not “demonstrated” that it can miniaturize a nuclear warhead small enough for missile delivery, or build a reentry vehicle for an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of penetrating the atmosphere to blast a U.S. city.
Yet any nation that has built nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, as North Korea has done, can easily overcome the relatively much simpler technological challenge of warhead miniaturization and reentry vehicle design.
Indeed, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un has been photographed posing with what appears to be a genuine miniaturized nuclear warhead for ballistic missiles. And North Korea does, in fact, have two classes of ICBMs-the road mobile KN-08 and KN-14-which both appear to be equipped with sophisticated reentry vehicles.
Even if it were true that North Korea does not yet have nuclear missiles, their “Dear Leader” could deliver an atomic bomb hidden on a freighter sailing under a false flag into a U.S. port, or hire their terrorist allies to fly a nuclear 9/11 suicide mission across the unprotected border with Mexico. In this scenario, populous port cities like New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, or big cities nearest the Mexican border, like San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, and Santa Fe, would be most at risk.
A Hiroshima-type A-Bomb having a yield of 10-kilotons detonated in a major city would cause about 200,000 casualties from blast, thermal, and radiation effects. North Korea has tested a nuclear weapon having an estimated yield of 20-30 kilotons. The Defense Department assesses that on January 6, 2016, North Korea may have tested components of an H-Bomb. H-Bombs are much more powerful than A-Bombs and can produce much greater casualties-millions of casualties in a big city like New York.
The notion that North Korea is testing A-Bombs and H-Bomb components, but does not yet have the sophistication to miniaturize warheads and make reentry vehicles for missile delivery is absurd.
I worked at Eglin AFB and know a little about the GBU-43. It is satellite/GPS guided and can hit a target with extremely good accuracy.
Every time we post on here it’s kinda like a public IQ test, ya know?
How embarrassing for you. I'd ask the mods to delete.
You know what they say about opening your mouth and removing all doubt...
It is guided. It hit where we wanted it to hit.
Almost 100 dead from your surmised fake show of force.
