I was just wondering if anyone here saw/heard it? Just wanted to know what it was like.

Seen it on the news tonight, It's a 21,000 LB bomb that is air dropped out of the back end of a C-130 airplane. I believe it is detonated above the ground, just like it's little brother the Daisy-cutter (15,000 LB). I definetly wouldn't want to be in the blast zone.

I had hoped someone here lives close enough to have seen it, first hand.
The video was enough to convince me that I wouldn't want to be near it when it goes off.

I heard many populated areas could feel the heat waves from it.
