"mother of all bombs" dropped on Taliban tunnel complex -Afghanistan

Why are people acting like this was anything near nuclear powerful? "Largest non-nuclear bomb used in battle..." - so, a hell of a lot weaker than a nuke?
 
One B-52 with 16 Mark 84 bombs, is equal to 17,840 pounds of TNT, that's all you needed?!!
Did not need a MOAB bomb, just one or even two B-52's with 16 Mark 84 2000 pound bombs each would have suffice!

But this is where Kenneth's presentation fails; because the bombs he's suggesting would not have been able to address those hiding in the depths of those tunnels or caves.

That's how the MOABS are so effective; because they create a vacuum in those caves and tunnels, which essentially suffocates the ones that were able to avoid being crushed in the resulting shock wave.
