This Is A Disaster

Episode 26: The Tunguska Explosion


Listen Later

Did you know that June 30th is International Asteroid Day?  Possibly because of a massive explosion in Siberia on that day in 1908.  While Russia was revolting (the first time), the Tungusic people of Eastern Siberia watched as the sky was torn in half by a column of fire.  Celestial police, this history of asteroid spotting, meteors on their way to meet us, and a nuclear solution.
