Subject It was the satellite ROSAT, which hit Turkey, causing a 7.3 EQ or was something else??

Yesterday a GLPer posted this link to an article in the Presscore, saying that US and European scientists are looking into a non-confirmed report that the 1.7 tons German satellite ROSAT crashed in Turkey and triggered the 7.3 earthquake:

For those of you who don’t believe a satellite can cause an earthquake of this magnitude check out what happened when the United States intentionally crash a satellite into the Moon and a comet in 2005. On january 12, 2005 NASA launched Deep Impact. It was designed to study the composition of the comet interior of comet 9P/Tempel, by slamming an 820-pound impactor into the comet. At 5:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, the impactor successfully collided with the comet. The impactor delivered 1.96 × 1010 joules of kinetic energy—the equivalent of 4.7 tons of TNT. Scientists believed that the energy of the high-velocity collision would be sufficient to excavate a crater up to 100 m (328 ft) wide (larger than the bowl of the Roman Colosseum). 4.7 tons of TNT can cause a 3.5 magnitude earthquake.

The article makes a unlikely comparison to make a point that a 1.7 tons satellite could cause a 7.3 EQ, because:

1. The moon has NO atmosphere to make resistance.
2. Comets have NO atmosphere to make resistance.
