a concrete block three feet long used as a bomb substitute would weigh no
more than maybe 50 pounds.
Doesn't make a deep crater when falling from an aircraft at a lowlevel
penetration mission.

Around summer 1989, a three-foot-long practice bomb was accidentally
dislodged from a Navy fighter je that was on a training mission. The
wayward ordnance, which was inert, came to rest in the backyard of
William Larsen's Middleburg, FL, home. The bomb gouged a foot-deep
crater in the earth, but, fortunately for the Navy, no one was injured
in the mishap.

Anyone have more info?
