Well, we're talking in different terms here. I happen to be aware how the geography and population density of Sudan looks like. It's a huge country with lots of desert and a very low population density in most of the area. I could drop Switzerland on top of Sudan and only a few goats would blink.
This is an example of miscommunication based on assumed knowledge.

The 1908 Tunguska meteor was ~10-20 megatons, and caused no known deaths or injuries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event . According to that Wikipedia article, kiloton-range bolides (airburst meteors) typically occur on Earth more than once per year. A stony meteoroid of about 10 metres (30 ft) in diameter can produce an explosion of around 20 kilotons, similar to that of the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki, and data released by the U.S. Air Force's Defense Support Program indicate that such explosions occur high in the upper atmosphere more than once a year.
