Atom bombs are just the beginning. In the last half-century, the greatest military minds on Earth have developed an arsenal of weapons to make mutually assured destruction seem tame. Whether these masterpieces of destruction come from miles above Earth or millimeters below the skin, they have one thing in common: they're spooky as hell.

His name was Barnes Wallis. I was close but thought I would correct it after looking it up to be sure.

I have also heard of one that caused earth quakes but probably not the same as what you are talking about. This was a bomb and bunker buster of sorts. It was a 22,000lb known as "The Grand Slam" designed by a Mr. Willis ,I believe, it was for the UK's Royal Air Force in World War II. The reason it was not widely used I believe is because it was so large and only a few airplanes could carry it. Also as we all know a little later it would be over shadowed by the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagaski to end the war and when a bomb is so serious it can end a war that is note worthy. Altho "The Grand Slam" was a large bomb the only thing it really did was burrow deeply in the ground, explode and cause earth quake like trimmers that would bring down most builds.
