i can't imagine any thing but a bomb dropped from flying fortress would make that size hole
but i imagine CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT would make that hole easily
nuclear bombs don't leave that size hole: especially if placed on PAVED AREAS - which the area HAD BEEN
but i imagine CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT would make that hole easily
IED bomb crater. not big enough.
car bomb crater - still much much too small
B52 flying fortress dropping 2,000 pound ordinance from 8,000 feet high. not big enough. and none have been dropped recently.
NUCLEAR CRATER: they don't make any - quite strangely. (ps, nuclear craters on google are from underground bombs not above ground bombs - the do not make craters)
REPORTEDLY due to a 'truck' full of explosives "the biggest biggest truck bomb kabul ever experienced (reported by MSNBC)", but the target nefarious - plain homes were all that was in the area. what kind of target is THAT ?
NOW NOTE the buildings nearby that crater which is big enough to be comparable ...
ALL THE BUILDINGS NEARBY HAVE BEEN PUSHED OVER , ARE CHARRED, DAMAGED. look at the hotel again. fires yes. a single building column cracked NO.
now look at something else. there are wires in the hole. so i assume that couldn't be a natural gas line explosion ...
this is what it looks like if your in California and your local utility takes awful care of the natural gas lines in your area. amazingly similar - utilities still visible in the hole, right.
