    The US made Mark 84, has massive power and Israel is dropping these on Gaza. I don’t think most people appreciate how fucked up that is. From Wikipedia:

    The Mark 84 is capable of forming a crater 50 feet (15 m) wide and 36 ft (11 m) deep. It can penetrate up to 15 inches (38 cm) of metal or 11 ft (3.4 m) of concrete, depending on the height from which it is dropped, and causes lethal fragmentation to a radius of 400 yards (370 m).

    That’s everything dead within 400 yards, in every direction from the center.
