Boom, there goes your nuke plant

Apparently there's a new bomb in town: MOP, or Massive Ordnance Penetrator. It's designed to penetrate things like underground nuclear facilities like those in North Korea or Iran. (Not that we'd ever bomb them, of course.) "Some nuclear facilities in both countries are believed to be buried deep, so U.S. designers — including some from Boeing — are developing a new class of bombs for plowing through hundreds of feet of earth and concrete before detonating."

This is what the Iranian facility looks like before it gets MOP'd:
Afterwards, of course, it'll just look like any other big hole in the ground, like this one in Syria after the Israels got done with it:
