  • I would not be surprised if the MOAB was not packed with depleted uranium. I feel like I just read the history of a mad man.

    It looks like Albert Weimorts was the designer of the MOAB bomb. Interestingly, he died at 67 with brain cancer, so maybe he was exposed to some extra radiation. I remember reading about the testing for this bomb back in early 2000s, and I believe the governor of Utah wasn't thrilled because he wasn't told about the test and people were asking questions. I can't find anything about the use of depleted uranium being used in this bomb, but I'll bet its there. They cost about 16 million each, so I'm sure the defense contractors will be thrilled to make more.
