As I said, look at the simulator I posted. Key in 0.02 tons of TNT, and it's really not that spectacular an explosion compared to the size of a 7 million pop city. Could someone else chime in to say that the idea of destroying a city with MOABs is ridiculous...


David, Not to intervine. I watched the documentary on the MOAB last night and from what they predict the blast radi would be the equivilent of 3-6 U.S. Superbowl stadiums in diameter. Not sure if this help or if this could be deemed totally accurate. Sorry for the hijak!

Ok I checked.. Dolphin Stadium (Superbowl) U.S. Florida. equals 660'-0" in total diameter. So at minimum we are looking at 1,980'-0" or rougly 3/8 mile in diameter for blast radi' at smallest (3 stadiums) estimate given. (6 stadiums) = 3960'-0" or 3/4 mile. Hope this helps.
