Under the circumstances I don't think they were in much of a position to complain when you think about it!

That's one hell of a detonation. What I don't get is how packing a huge bomb with more explosives is less damaging then setting it off without the extra explosives? Surely they are just adding to the blast force?

Well if dropping it from a Lancaster from a few thousand feet doesn't set it off, what else are you gonna do?
