What Happened in Tunguska Event?

On 30th June 1908, a large asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere traveling at a speed of 54,000 km per hour and headed straight towards Siberia, Russia. When the asteroid was 5-10 km above the surface it exploded with a force of 15 megatons of TNT. 185 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.

Blast was so big that it was visible from 800 km away. The shock wave from it flattened 80 million trees over an area of 2,150 square kilometres. Windows smashed in a nearby town over 60 km away and residents even felt heat from the blast. Later detailed research showed that the asteroid was just 50–100 meters in diameter since it was an air burst, no crater was found.

What I do know is that upon impact, it caused a huge explosion, and it resulted in a lot of damage

Mr.Scientific uploads at the right time when we need him! His videos and descriptions are the best.

That's not what happened as recent computer simulations show(Russian federal university).
It was an Iron meteorite that entered the atmosphere at a very small angle. Therefore it traveled a long distance through the atmosphere where it heated up. Due to the high density of the lover parts of the atmosphere and the small entrance angle, the meteorite was deflected back into space. This caused the explosion which destroyed all the trees. Had the meteorite entered, it would have killed most live on the Eurasian continent.
