Nice headline. A 2 kiloton rock would destroy most of the planet.

A 2.1 kiloton explosion would not make much of a dent.

There is a BIG difference.

Barringer crater was a nickel iron of about 300,000 tons mass. It was about 20Mt yield. A 2000 ton rock would be pretty spectacular to see but not much to write home about impact and geology wise...
