Ah yes, the "earthquake" bomb. They used them to bring down bridges: It didn't have to hit the bridge, just strike nearby where the shock waves from the explosion (I believe they were fused to go off after impact, underground) would literally shake the bridge down. They had to remove the bob bay doors to fit those bombs, I htink. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
