Lucky it exploded over a desolate, swamp laden wilderness in the middle of nowhere without a single human being present. Or was it luck?PtahReply tomort dog
People did die. Akulina, an Evenki woman, who was closer than 20 miles to epicentre at the time of explosion, later reported the event to the scientists: ¿A mighty wind flattened our tent, while we had been sleeping. A brilliant ourburst of light blinded us, the wind was breaking trees like they were sticks. As a rising whirlwind lifted us off the ground, I lost conciousness¿. After she woke up, she remembers seeking her husband, Ivan, being lifted up by blast, and slammed into one of the remaining upright trees, 130 feet from the remnants of the camp they had slept in. He died few hours later from fractures, shock and blood loss. ¿Our reindeers also vanished, and we haven¿t found them since¿, Akulina also reported.Andypinchi
what's going on? they discovered what it was decades and decades ago. meteor that exploded in the atmosphere, not on the ground. it's common.Xod
Can't of been an act of God, he missed the middle east by a long way, and He doesn't make mistakes....Parade
Just maybe it was an experiment or test that went horribly wrong/right depending on ones point of view. Interestingly and conveniently there couldn't have been a more remote, secure location this could have happened without a horrific loss of life. I say human caused.ParadeReply toParade
@dgladys, hahahahaha, ya think? Apparently neither does anyone else as they have been speculating about the cause for a hundred years and at this juncture I'm just as right/wrong as any one else except those who don't have the imagination or intelligence to actually speculate. Dumb de dumb dumb.FreshWhyte
Its essentially a larger version of what happened over Chelyabinsk which set off an explosion equivalent to 440 kilotons (approx 20 times more powerful than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima) this is what meteors do, if you compare the damage to this event with the damage that occurred in Chelyabinsk you'll notice quite a few similarities.LesWeddell
Exploding UFO no doubt about it. Knew they were in trouble, picked a desolate area to crash and be evaporated in the nuclear blast.MaxK
Compare the eyewitness descriptions of this explosion to videos of nuclear explosions on you tube. Huge fireball in the sky then followed by a shock wave accompanied by intense heat that burned peoples clothes miles away.
