Not to discount it, buy at 2 megatons it’s not much of a doomsday meteor.

Yep, the meteor that caused the crater in Arizona was 50 meters across and triggered an estimated 10 megaton explosion.
2 megatons could wipe out a city but would not cause planetary impacts. But I'm sure that won't stop the usual nitwits from turning it into another end-of-the-world conspiracy theory.

About 1/4 the energy of Barringer. Still a city-killer, if not “most of a county” killer.
Unlike a nuke most of that 2 MT is kinetic.

If it impacts in Mecca it might be worth it.
