    100 tones of HE = 100 tons of good, clean fun

    The sound of that GAU/8 is a bit scary.  I'm happy we use the A10.

    Looked like they threw in a few hundred gallons of diesel fuel to get a big fireball out of that explosion. Personally, I like seeing what the HE does all by itself - all that fire and smoke messes with my view of the shockwaves. Still an awesome vid.

    Hot Damn.  I wonder what it would feel like to stand right where the guy was standing?  & How much did that explosion cost?

    Makes me happy that I was in Artillery for a while.  Loved blowing stuff up.

    Reminds me of the end of Tremors 2. Where they set off all of the C4 Burt had in the back of his 2 and a half ton truck?
