    funny, I was thinking the same thing.

    I hate to think we think alike.

      Maybe this is some sort of air blast or whatever you have it, that this stuff sucks up oxygen when going boom, so it will kill a lot more people than TNT?

        No current or projected plane will carry 700 tonnes, but we have conventional explosives that are many times more powerful per lb than ammonium nitrate pfuel mix. They are also many times more expensive, which is why the amonium nitrate fuel mix is being used in the test. The test is not for the pourposes of testing a bomb; convention shaped explosives are pretty cut and dried. It is to test the cratering and seismic shock effects of large convetional exposives, to see how deeply they can crack bunkers.

            Sounds the opening scene to a cheesy gay porn flick...

              I believe that some of the larger cargo planes can carry up to 100 tons of cargo. We've dropped bombs from the back of cargo planes in the past. I think that dropping that much weight at one time would be very hard on a plane.

                It's hard to suck up oxygen when buried though...I'd thought of that possibility I presume it must be relative cost...

                            Russia's Antanov AN-225 (only one current built I believe) carries 250 metric tonnes (275 short tons).
