Parameters:
400m wide
Density:
1500 kg/m3 (C-Type)

Play with the impact. At worst (very high velocity) it is a very large nuclear blast, but nothing civilization ending.

I wouldn't want to be within 100km of the impact in any event. Odds are good that very few people would be, barring a hit on Beijing or Mexico City.
