One astronmer on CNN just said it would have probably just exploded above ground and not impacted. Then he said it would have been like a small quarter megaton bomb.

Let's do the math.

A quarter megaton would be 250,000 tons of TNT which means we're talking about only 500 Million pounds of TNT.

Yeh, that's the ticket. I sure as hell wouldn't want that going off in the sky above where I lived.
i wonder if an astorid explosion would produce an eltromagnatic pulse like a nucular expolosion scrambling electronics?
