During my tour at Andersen AFB (1973-74) I'd see thousands of these stacked
up like cordwood:

Farallon de Medinilla is about 170 miles north of Andersen. After a
half-century of bombardment, its 200 acres have taken their beating quite
well:

In the Vietnam War, a B-52 strike was called an "ArcLight". They dropped these
by the 1000s. You could hear the rumble of their impact more than 20 miles
away.
