Just for a reference point, that is 2/3 (0.68) of a kiloton. When people talk about small nukes, either as we might use them or as potential terrorist countries might use then, they need to realize that this massive amount of conventional explosives is only a fraction of the smallest of nukes.

Only if it's TNT. If it's a higher yield explosive the ratio above wouldn't work.

Weren't the 9/11 impacts on the WTC about .5 kilotons each? That would make this about as severe. Not enough to level a city, but certainly enough to wreck a few blocks.
