(Imagine an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie.)
Astronomer Peter Brown from Western University in Ontario noted that the impact was recorded at the equivalent explosive power of 5,000 tons of TNT.
The "Little Boy" dropped on Hiroshima was equivalent to 16,000 tons of TNT.

Hi, no. We didn’t find out until it came out in the news.

If you post it as a Puerto Rico ping list item might we hear from some people who did see it?
