Pretty sure this gave me a freedom boner, check this shit out

The 21,600-pound, GPS-guided MOAB is the most powerful, non nuclear bomb ever built. The following data gives you an idea to the awesome lethality of the MOAB:

Up to 1,000 yards: Obliterates everything.

Up to 1 mile: Knocks people, tents, light buildings, cars and jeeps over within 1-mile radius.

Up to 1.7 miles: shock wave kills people, causes severe damage to buildings, equipment, blows trucks, tanks off road.

Up to 2 miles: causes deafness.

Up to 5 miles: shakes ground, breaks windows.

Up to 30 miles: 10,000 foot high mushroom cloud visible.

If i remember correctly they dropped one on Tora Bora in Afghanistan a few years back when they were searching for Osama. Nonetheless, its scary. No freedom boner here it kind of shriveled up reading those facts. I wonder what type of explosive material it uses. Whatever happened to hand to hand combat like that employed in the film "The Raid.":(
