- trhway 11y agointeresting, he puts it between 3kt and 300 tons based on the fireball size from the video where is my first immediate estimate just based on the same video - only i used distance and blast sound wave - was 2kt. I adjusted it down (mainly by adjusting down the most speculative element - estimate of the sound wave from the video) to 500-200 tons once i saw the next day photos with the apartment buildings still standing at 300m distance. Once i saw the crater - i became pretty sure that it is more close to 500 than 200.
