Confined quarters -- like a tunnel complex, if you target (one of) its openings -- make a pretty good funnel for the shock wave. Not to mention the oxygen that the combustion uses up.

I don't think that they hit one of the openings, of which, no doubt, there are many.  From what I read, the thing exploded mid-air, hundreds of feet off the ground.

There isn't always skullduggery at work. 

Except on the Internet, where it's the only explanation.

I don't know what the expiration date for one of those is; obviously, someone needs to build it, a defense contractor who needs to get paid on a regular basis.
You need to read better sources. It was an air-burst device, designed that way, same at the bombs that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And they were designed to burst one hundred feet in the air, IIRC. 

And you're still going on about the Military-Industrial complex?
