Hello Linton,
Many thanks for the "Meteorite picture of the day" (Mbale).
Regarding the TKW (officially 850+@~150+ kg), here is a more recent update:
The TKW officially reported was recently re-evaluated (O. Popova, in:
Proc. Meteoroids 2010, Breckenridge, Co, July 2011, pp 232-254).
The paper reports, among others, that the progressive fragmentation
model to the Mbale entry allowed estimation of fallen mass as 200-250
kg in 100-3000 fragments (in dependence on assumed breakup model)
covering a strewnfield of about 1 x 7-9 km.
Best wishes,
Zelimir
