As I recall the RAF 617 Squadron dropped 10 ton bombs to sink the "Tirpitz" and massive concrete hardened V1 sites in 1944 and 45. The science of explosives is now 70 years on from then, but these bombs, conceived and designed by Barnes Wallis and carried by Lancaster bombers, crewed by some of the best crews from several British Commonwealth countries, achieved similar earthquake effects to destroy their targets.
