Biblical city Sodom & Tunguska event connection?

Excerpt from timesofisrael.com:
3700 years ago all human civilization abruptly ended on the banks of the Dead Sea. Now a team of multi-disciplinary scientists have new evidence which support the theory that a same or similar event happened at the banks of the Dead Sea as in Taiga forestry in Tunguska a 100 years ago in 1908, which is also regarded as a unsolved mystery. In Tunguska around 2000 square kilometers of forest have been wiped out through some kind of explosion, but without leaving a crater which is rather unusual.

As reported in Science News, at the recently concluded Denver-based ASOR Annual Meeting, director of scientific analysis at Jordan’s Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project Phillip J. Silvia presented a paper, “The 3.7kaBP Middle Ghor Event: Catastrophic Termination of a Bronze Age Civilization” during a session on Environmental Archaeology of the Ancient Near East.

Could this massive disaster offer an explanation for the biblical story of Sodom?

According to a 2013 Biblical Archaeology Review article by TeHEP co-director Dr. Steven Collins, the Tall el-Hammam site is a strong candidate for the biblical city of Sodom due to a multitude of factors. The discovered disaster, and its precise location, which he ties to biblical references of “ha-kikkar” (or idiomatically, the plain).
