The Davy Crockett had a range of 2-1/2 miles, with a yield equal to about 18 tons of high explosives. Contrary to myth, the crew were indeed outside the danger zone.
Sure hate to have a fizzle launch that dropped short.

The W54 warhead with a yeild of 18 tons of TNT was small for a nuclear weapons, but still 4 to 5 times more powerful than the Oklahoma City bomb in 1995.
