Quote:I suspect that ISIS has the smarts to have dug their underground tunnels pretty deep with lots of connecting entrances/exits, probably, at least 60 feet down. My bet is that they are completely safe; time will tell, of course.What do you think the penetrative ability of the munition is? We've established that you thinks it's less than 1k feet....and you know what, it probably is, lol...but there seems to be alot of room between 1000 and 60, for example.
No, I was using "1000 feet" just as an example; we all agree on that! But, point is, that you can dig a tunnel pretty deep! Just consider the Mexican drug cartels:

If true, where's the crater? I live just north of the "Show Me State", and so, let's see some pics!
Fresh off the wire:
Quote:The initial toll given by Afghan officials for Thursday's strike was 36. A statement released Friday through ISIS' media wing, Amaq News Agency, said none of the terror group's fighters were killed or injured. CNN cannot independently confirm the number of casualties.

And, so, who's lying and who's telling the truth? They can't both be right, of course!
