Sounds to me like the researcher just ignored some data to make the explosion seem deadlier, but still it would have been a hell of a blast.

I once asked a British friend whether they had such a big celebration on Guy Faulkes Day because the plot failed or to celebrate that someone tried. I knew the answer, of course, but thought the question could illustrate to him the American perspective on oppressive government.
