Note: If you haven't seen J.J. Abrams' kick-ass monster flick Cloverfield yet, you might want to avoid this spoilery post.
There's some debate as to which type of weapon was used in the ending of Cloverfield. Most now specualate that a non-nuclear weapon was used since the camera survived. While we may have to wait until Cloverfield 2 to find out, Wired.com takes a look at some potential bombs.
"Shells fired by M-1 tanks from the New York National Guard's 42nd Division just bounce off its hide. Same with MLRS and AT-4 rockets, missiles from F/A-18s and Mk 82 bombs dropped by a B-2 bomber. Infantry are like camouflaged candy to the five-legged, 500-foot-tall creature that flattens Manhattan and gobbles hipsters in the new movie Cloverfield. After the everyday weapons fail, in a last-ditch defense the U.S. military apparently deploys one of the most powerful non-nuclear bombs in its inventory: the Massive Ordnance Air-Burst, aka "Mother of All Bombs."
MOAB releases a cloud of combustible gas before igniting, creating a vacuum effect that pulverizes anything nearby and, at a distance, can turn bodies inside out, according to legend." (source)
