Paper in question.
http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/~restrepo/MTH481/Classnotes/GITaylor/GITaylorAnalysis.pdf http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/~restrepo/MTH481/Classn...
From videos:
R=450m
t=1.5s
rho=1.2kg/m3
E=9.84E12 kg.m2/s2 or 9.84E19 erg
Equiv TNT = 2.5kTonnes -TNT
Equiv AN = 5400 Tonnes
So double what current media is saying.
edit:formatting.
