There's that destroy-everything-within-a-mile nonsense again. It would
actually take about 11KT to do that

A SQUARE mile would require about 2KT

A square mile would have a radius of 2,979 ft. (908 meters)

Now plug in the value of .01 KT (ten tons)

At 900 meters you'd get your hat blown off, like these folks who are 6 mi.
