Suicide bombing is a media virus with very real effects. The sticky outer shell is the event itself - a suicide bombing gets covered on the news. It's huge news, especially if it occurs in a white western nation. Currently, it's the fastest spreading kind of news story there is. - Bombs -- Devices
Because the thermonuclear explosive devices used hydrogen isotopes, (deuterium-tritium fusion), the resulting bombs were often called "hydrogen bombs". The first hydrogen bomb was detonated on November 1, 1952 at the small island Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands. It's yield was several megatons of TNT. The Soviet Union detonated a fusion bomb in the megaton range in August of 1953. The U.S. exploded a 15 megaton fusion bomb on March 1, 1954. It had a fireball 4.8 km in diameter and created a huge characteristic mushroom-shaped cloud. Analysis of the radioactive fallout from this bomb revealed it to be a fission-fusion-fission weapon, a "hydrogen bomb" with an outer sheath of natural uranium to increase the yield. - Bombs -- Weapons

The Normandy Landings inspired the plotters to attempt an assassination in the face of the Allied breakout. Von Stauffenberg placed a briefcase with a bomb inside Hitler’s “Wolf’s Lair” — his command post for the Eastern Front in Rastenburg, Prussia. The bomb was one of many British bombs confiscated by the Abwehr, the German intelligence organization. Stauffenberg had to activate the bomb with tongs. He placed the bomb under the conference table and left. He and the other plotters believed Hitler was dead and prepared to seize Berlin with Home Army troops. - Nagasaki -- Bombs

Fin assemblies, used with the Mk 80 (series) LDGP bombs, provide stability to the bomb. They cause the bomb to fall in a smooth, definite curve to the target, instead of tumbling through the air. The fin assemblies, except the MAU-91A/B, are shipped on metal pallets. Each individual fin is crated in a lightweight, disposable metal crate. Some fin assemblies are shipped with bomb lugs attached to the shipping crate, depending upon the particular Navy Ammunition Logistics Code (NALC). Two types of fins are described in this part of the TRAMAN—conical and Snakeye.
