What the simulator shows
NASA puts the impact energy at 0.20 kilotons of TNT. A stony body about 1.5 m across at 17.0 km/s carries that energy, and that is the scenario the simulator loads. The object exploded 70.0 km above the surface. No town lies within 150 km of the point.
This is a simplified model, not a damage report. Real effects depend on soil, buildings, terrain and the details of the event.
