we’ve decided to see just how much
we’ve decided to see just how much damage an explosive bomb can cause to
damage an explosive bomb can cause to
damage an explosive bomb can cause to the area surrounding its target and then

compare that to the collateral damage
compare that to the collateral damage resulting from a concrete bomb now the
