‘Mother of all bombs’ tested in Florida
The mushroom cloud from a GBU-43/B, also known as the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB), can be seen rising in this Air Force video still image after it was launched successfully from a MC-130E Combat Talon I aircraft on Friday.

Upon detonation, it created a plume over the Florida Panhandle that rose more than 10,000 feet and could be seen from 40 miles away.
