67,000mph!

and it was only about 2 meters in diameter (approx 6 feet)

At entry or after it burned up in the atmosphere? I read that it was an estimated 10tons.

Put it this way: Assuming it was a sphere made of pure iron at 6 ft diameter, (or 3 ft radius), it would weigh 55,594 lbs, which is 27.8 tons. So I don't think there is any difficulty that the thing only weighed 10 tons.

So lets say a meteor oh... 200ft in diameter were to enter our atmosphere..

Would half of the earth experience destruction of this nature?
