500-1000lb class weapons dropped from an aircraft with an air-burst fuse would leave little or no crater but with a large blast radius. Has this been considered and/or discounted already?

If you look at the blast site in an aerial view, I'd posit the damage looks no where near enough for an AB 500-1000lb. Cars literally metres from the epicentre are only fire damaged, no blast/frag damage.
