2003-03-12 How did you discover the 21 000 lb bomb is actually the same as a 10 Mg bomb from the articles you posted? There was nothing in either article that states the 21 000 lb bomb is really 10 Mg. a 22 000 lb bomb is a 10 Mg bomb and a 21 000 lb bomb is a 9.5 Mg bomb.
Also, for the 7.5 ton mentioned in the second article was more than likely to mean 7 Mg bomb. As the ton mentioned is most likely the short ton of 907 kg.
