I read a Newsweek article MANY years ago about a 'bunker buster' bomb


a really heavy bomb, shaped to penetrate and with a delayed 'fuse'. It was designed to bust bunkers that were deep underground, ala what we thought Saddam would be in in Iraq.

It could go through something like 30 feet of dirt and 5 to 10 feet of concrete and THEN blow up.
