Came across this old tweet from 2013 linking to a Fox News article about the U.S. upgrading its 30,000-lb “bunker buster” bombs – specifically to hit Iran’s fortified nuke site at Fordow.
I clicked the link and it’s gone. Just a 404 page now.
But I found the archived version here:
🔗 https://web.archive.org/web/20130503184055/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/05/03/pentagon-upgrades-bunker-buster-bomb-in-attempt-to-penetrate-key-iran-nuke-site/
The article lays out how the Pentagon enhanced the GBU-57 to penetrate deep underground bunkers in Iran – something that feels very relevant again given everything going on.
What’s weird is that Fox completely wiped it from their site. No redirect, no explanation. It’s just gone unless you know to look it up on the Wayback Machine.
Not saying it’s some giant cover-up, but it does feel a little sketchy. Why quietly remove an article like that now, when tensions with Iran are heating up again?
Anyone else seen other military or foreign policy stories disappear like this?

Honestly just feels off that this would be deleted now of all times…
Odd but not questionable. DoD may have requested it. Can you find the information elsewhere besides web archive?
Fox News is dogshit but sometimes websites change their URL structure:
