I'm not a fan of using kilotons of TNT as a scale. The average reader has no frame of reference for this measurement.

- jeza 14y agoYou're right. They should use terajoules. :)
- Random_Person 14y agoHeh. I was going to suggest a percentage of Hiroshima explosion, but I realize this is a sensitive subject. It bothers me, however, when articles describe an explosion as "X kilos of TNT" and follow that up with "approximately X atom bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima." The Hiroshima part is likely what most readers will relate with.
