The U.S. military’s non-nuclear “mother of all bombs” (MOAB) hit the Islamic State in Afghanistan so hard that it cracked buildings in neighboring Pakistan.
Villagers complained to Dawn, a newspaper in Pakistan, that the bomb cracked numerous houses and a mosque in Malana village located in the foothills of the White Mountain, which serves as a border between the two countries.

lmao
You guys are killin me
But doesn’t it weigh 11 tons?
I think the MOAB weighed 21 tons. Which makes one wonder why they didn’t just use TNT.
The yield must have been higher, much higher than 11 tons.
Rut Roh.Here come the law suits.
I tried but couldn't hold back a belly laugh............
Not even close. The Hiroshima bomb was around 10 thousand tons.
I’m getting confused.
So this was much Stronger? K tons/

MOAB weighs 21,600 lbs with an explosive yield equivalent to 11 Tons (22,000 lbs) of TNT.`
MOAB has an explosive yield of 11 Tons of TNT. Hiroshima was 15 kilotons of 15,000 Tons of TNT.
of = or
War.
1) Kill people, check
2) Break stuff, check
its a fresh unweathered crack. doubt if homeowner’s insurance will cover though since it was an act of war.
Who cares?
Apparently, it blew the gutters clean off that building as well.
No, actually those are New Leaf guard gutters by Ronco.
The transparent gutters that never need cleaning!
Not available in stores.
WOW so even as strong as this thing is it’s still nothing compared to the bomb way back when!!!
Damn!!
I’m no hippy, but I think an exchange of several hundred nukes would be a really bad thing for all involved.
Then again, we tested a bundle and nothing happened, so what do I know?
I don’t know how the factors involved well enough. Radius of radiation, etc.
My dog took a dump on the carpet.
DAMN MOAB !!
I was about 20-25 miles away from the Cambodian border in 1968. When the B-52s would bomb the Ho Chi Minh trail, we could feel the vibrations even though we couldn’t hear the explosions. That MOAB must be like a man-made earthquake!
Well played!
