> It was used to disable the V2 launch sites at La Coupole and Blockhaus d'Éperlecques, put out of action the V-3 cannon sites at Fortress of Mimoyecques, sink the battleship Tirpitz and damage the U-boats' protective pens at St. Nazaire, as well as to attack many other targets which had been impossible to damage before. One of the most spectacular attacks was shortly after D-Day, when the Tallboy was used to prevent German tank reinforcements from moving by train. Rather than blow up the tracks – which would have been repaired in a day or so – the bombs were targeted on a tunnel near Saumur which carried the line under a mountain. Twenty-five Lancasters dropped the first Tallboys on the mountain, penetrating straight through the rock, and one of them exploded in the tunnel below. As a result, the entire rail line remained unusable until the end of the war.

Can you explain what makes this account a sock-puppet account, or how they're causing trouble? The comment makes valid points, and provides useful information.

Surprisingly, I upvoted for teaching me that the earthquake bomb was actually a thing and used in the wild:

Yes, but people will connect this factual bomb to something magic which can cause a region wide earthquakes. Undetected, of course, masquerading as a natural event.
>It's like from V for Vendetta. The lighting choice is very particular.
Your post is very manipulative and malicious, exploiting the readers emotions.
There is no reason in the world to even bring this up other than to cause trouble.
I know in the 50's at least one Western country had developed an earthquake bomb which can appear to seismology sensors like a genuine earthquake or tsunami had occurred. With the bogged down entrenched situation in this region, plus the actions that have occurred with tech like Twitter, and comments like yours, it makes it look like some people are trying to exploit a debatable natural event to unblock the log jam and make an incursion into an area for other reasons.
Your comment is a textbook example of sockpuppet manipulation across the internet, shame this sort of thing isnt taught to the masses so that innocent people are not exploited and manipulated.
