Gigajoules? Not there only because they didn't go far enough, not that it doesn't exist.
In the Energy and Work section you find, "joule, kilojoule, megajoule." And, what comes next?

Nice workup. I'm posting this on MOAB threads. 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

Author Michael Crichton was always ahead of his time, as illustrated by his perceptions of journalistic integrity in the novel Airframe. Once television achieved dominance as the go-to resource for news, propaganda theatre overrode the ethical considerations of factual reporting.
