Hello steemit!
The Tunguska incident, located northwest of Lake Baikal took place on the morning of June 30, 1908.
A huge explosion would destroy a huge area with about 200 square km, dropping from the epicenter million in the Siberian tundra trees.
Around 7:00 am, a huge shock wave devastated almost 80 million trees in the Siberian tundra, many wild animals such as bears and reindeer were incinerated along with the surrounding vegetation.
We have the eyewitness testimony of Mr. Semionov, one area farmer, he recounts that was sitting on the porch of his house, located near the isolated commercial Vanavara station, about 750 km northwest of Lake Baikal. It was 7:00 am and the day was already quite clear once they were in the summer, suddenly Mr. Semionov was very alarmed to see across the sky a huge fireball ... Mr. Semionov contorted in pain because this huge fireball exuded such warmth that seemed to burn his shirt.
A few seconds later, this ball would explode about 65 km ahead, with an explosion so great that the shock wave knocked Mr. Semionov the balcony with such force that left him unconscious for some time.
At that time, the Tunguska river valley was sparsely inhabited, just a nomad tribe lived in this remote region, for which there were no human deaths. The effects of the massive explosion was heard and felt almost 1,000 km around it, which demonstrates the enormous power of it.
Today there are several theories about what has happened that morning 1908 in Tunguska, the most consensus is that a meteorite entered the Earth's atmosphere crumbling later a massive explosion above ground ...
Seismic waves were also registered similar to a slightly earthquake across Europe also registered significant disturbances in the magnetic field of the Earth and blast shock waves circled the planet twice.
The Tunguska incident happened in a sparsely populated area, but imagine that a similar event takes place in a densely populated urban core ... They would die millions ...
A medium-sized asteroid with approximately 1 km wide, fully evaporate a big city like New York! This is scary!
The big question is not will fall another, but when and where will fall ...
