Paper in question.

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.

You have to be careful about your errors though with this method, because you get higher-order powers. If the radius estimation was wrong by only 10%, your final answer will be wrong by almost 50%.
