Well, I meant that it was too small to fully break through the atmosphere, had it been larger, it would have plowed straight through and annihilated the area.

Then again, with that steep of an angle, it was basically smashing it's face on the atmosphere. There's probably a special angle that lets meteorites avoid skipping like a stone on the atmosphere and not plow fullspeed into a fairly hard surface.
