Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 20 Approved: military@att.att.com From: stevenb@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu (Babin Steven M. S1R x6704 ) SUBJECT:Bunker Busting of S. Hussein Various people have discussed how to destroy a hardened bunker using sundry types of munitions. Why not just drop tons of wet concrete on it like they did at Chernobyl? This would plug up all the ventilator shafts and turn the bunker into a tomb. I don't recall the details of how they did it at Chernobyl except that they used aircraft of some type to fly overhead and drop it. First, of course, you kill the AAA, then fly in and drop some substance that will seal all the ventilation, entrances, etc. This substance might not be concrete but something easier to deliver. Once you did this to one bunker, the people in the other bunkers would probably want to come out into the open. Ugh, sounds pretty awful to me. Are there any experts out there who could comment on whether this would really work?
