>>Yes a lot of
the mass would have been melted and disintegrated but, how likely is it
really that the blast would make ALL trace of the meteoroid disappear?<<

Tunguska was pretty much a terminal burst when it smacked up against the
atmosphere. I visualize a terminal burst like someone throwing a dirt clod
as hard as they could, up against a brick wall....but with a much more
energy. Thus the dirt clod gets blown into smitherens in all directions.
