The daisy family has more than 22,750 currently accepted species, spread across 1620 genera, and 12 subfamilies.
The Daisy Cutter generated pressures in excess of 1,000 pounds per square inch near the point of impact, and the shock waves could be felt miles away.
Daisies include not only the familiar flowers, but also valuable medicinal herbs like Echinacea and arnica, and edible plants like artichokes and endive.
The Daisy Cutter was the product of an institution--the US military--that is funded by 54 percent of American tax dollars and owns the dubious distinction of being the planet's worst polluter.
Daisies make up 10 percent of all flowering plants on Earth.
The Daisy Cutter has already been retired and replaced with an even more destructive version, the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (known as The Mother of All Bombs or MOAB). The largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal, the MOAB is very similar to the Daisy Cutter, except it is larger and uses a guidance system which makes it one of those "smart" bombs.
Daisies are found everywhere on the planet except Antarctica.
In 2007, the Russians announced they'd tested the "Father of All Bombs." Described as "the world's most powerful non-nuclear air-delivered munition, the Russian military claimed it was four times more powerful" than the MOAB.
