The MOAB is .011kt and airburst.

MOAB ain't shit to Slower Delaware. No fatalities. 10 people winged, likely when the roof blows off the firehouse during a crab feast.

Our biggies were Mk84s, which are 2,000 lb conventional air-dropped bombs. All I can say is, they are an effect to behold. The crater they leave is massive and they throw up a mini mushroom cloud.

And the MOAB is ten times as heavy. Ouch.
The overpressure has to be lethal for at least a mile radius
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.
