Robot cop called in after MAD BONGER blown up in LIQUID MARIJUANA EXPLOSION

I think you meant "Daisy Cutter"

"gases emitted from the oil can build up in the surrounding volume to form an explosive fuel-air mix of the sort used in military "bunker buster" bombs...."

This should be corrected to say a "Daisy Cutter" or "MOAB". A bunker buster is a different munition type made up a depleted uranium or tungsten head to punch through reinforced concrete at high velocity and a tandem charge of explosive that detonates after penetration.

A Daisy Cutter or Fuel Air Bomb consisted of a large tank that was dropped over an area which ejects and spreads combustible fuel in a large area. Then once the bomb reaches a certain altitude it fires some flares to ignite the fuel air mixture causing a powerful explosion in a large area.
