They said 36 m wide. Now that's not exactly a "tree stump" size, but you can get a hole like that if you overdo our charge when you blow a stump!

Not that anybody ever does something like that, but they do!

The crater is 36 m wide. The object required to create that crater is far smaller.

The meteorite was about 3 feet wide, if you read the article. The crater was 36 meters wide. Barringer crater in Arizona was said to have been caused by a meteorite about the size of a Volkswagen about 50,000 years ago and it’s almost a mile across.

At 1,100 years old, this is a relatively recent event in geological terms, obviously. Some people think a massive meteorite whipped out pre Clovis culture in North America about 11,000 years ago.
