On March 11, the Air Force tested its Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) weapon at the Eglin Air Force Base Air Armament Center's western test range. Dropped from a C-130, the MOAB is a precision-guided weapons weighing 21,500 pounds. It will be the largest non-nuclear conventional weapon in existence. The MOAB is an Air Force Research Laboratory technology project that began in fiscal year 2002 and is to be completed this year.

I know that other people already blogged about MOAB and that it's old news, but the previous entries had nothing beyond a single still image to offer.

Here is one minute of RealVideo showing the live test from air drop through detonation and the resulting fireball and mushroom cloud of smoke.
