In 1908, an explosion equal to around 10-15mt (About as powerful as the strongest H-bomb detonated by the U.S.) occurred in Siberia, obliterating forests within an 830 mile radius. The most common theory as to the cause is that a large meteoroid or comet exploded about 3-6 miles above the ground.

What would happen if somehow the trajectory of the object had been slightly different, and it had annihilated a city or a large town, say in western Russia, or central Asia?
