Sorry folks,

Missed a decimal place (as most of you noticed)
I was reading .1 Kilotons as .1 tons.  DUUUHHHH!
(That's what I get for trying to read around midnight.)

The closest to 100 tons of TNT I have ever read about was the Tall boy
Earthquake bombs of WWII.  25 (?) tons of TNT.  They were dropped from
Lancasters slung under the fusilage.  They were designed to bury themselves
under ground from the force of being dropped and then the explosion would
collapse underground bunkers and the like.

Doesn't really help with your question though does it?
