A surface blast? This article says it penetrates
deep underground.

So what kind of damage did it cause ISIS? A helluva lot more that anything Obama didn't do.

It’s TNT equivalent, not just rounding. The MOAB has 18,700 pounds of an explosive mixture (including 29.5% TNT, plus a stabilizer and ingredients that increase the energy density and the blast pressure and decrease the pressure wave rise time, which increases the damage radius) with a TNT equivalent by weight of 1.35 to 1. That means it’s equivalent to over 11 tons of TNT.

...the explosive content is some what different with
the MOAB...it’s ability to rattle vital body
parts at greater distances (underground too)makes it most effective

Solve a lot of problems, destroy the religion as it makes the Haj, one of the pillars of “faith”, impossible.

since Reagan we have had are presidents micro managing the military. I like knowing that response on site in a conflict situation is being handled by real military officers not the President, his chief of staff, and the speech writers.

That is awesome! You can see the dust and smoke coming out of the connecting tunnel entrances.
I missed what you pointed out when I first posted that video on my Android phone.
I sent the video out to family members and friends, and they got back with what you noted.
So I ran it on my Ace Chromebook 15, and like you noted, It is awesome.
A friend was AF security and his Nam tours were in Laos protecting our planes, supplies, pilots and other guys who kept our planes flying and bombing.
He went into the VC tunnels around our air bases to take out Charlie. This weapon would have been great for him and his guys.
