Air bombs are sudden downdrafts that move in a fashion opposite a tornado. They’re particularly dangerous for aircraft for this reason, and have even been known to sink ships.

The Mirror reports that these terrifying clouds typically only form on the western tip of Bermuda, but can become incredibly large; spanning stretches of up to 55 miles of ocean.
