The specialists at Pantex Plant, Amarillo Texas have dismantled the last of the America's biggest N-Bombs as part of Obama's policy of ridding the world of nukes. The  B-53 dismantled bomb, a relic of the Cold War era, is said to have been 600 times more powerful than the one dropped at Hiroshima during the last days of WW-II in 1945. The explosive taken out f the bomb has been detonated and destroyed.
