The universe is a scary, scary place. Stay safe out there, everyone!

I cannot imagine the horror of leaving your house one day for a simple errand and being obliterated by a freak space rock incident which only happens every 300 years. Unlucky much?

If you are wondering as to how remote rhe area is: in 1978, Soviet geologists discovered a family of five living in the wilderness who were completely unaware of WW2 and the moon landings but HAD noticed satellites in the sky. They were called the Lykovs and its an entertaining tale.
Ps: love this channel.

The vastness of Siberia is mind blowing. It took many years to find the crater

* creates tremors all across world, decimates trees, causes the sky to glow unnaturally for days *
everyone simultaneously: we absolutely do not have to worry about this

[Sarah.Riedel]

Can you imagine if this had impacted over a populated area...? Even in 1908.

"The recurrence of such an event is inevitable."

Don't give 2020 any more ideas!

It’s crazy how we could all be wiped out in less than a minute

[VegemiteQueen]

I watched a really long 'documentary' on this once that concluded with 'we don't really know what happened still'
Thank you for your actually informative videos without all the bullshit. I can waste my time without actually wasting my time.

Good Guy Jupiter protects us from most of this stuff by being such a massive gravity pull as to either fling the shit back out of the solar system or draw it into itself.

The fun part is with the correct trajectory a relatively small incident can end all life on the planet. Cheers!

The Tunguska meteorite explosion was around 10 megatons or 10 *MILLION* tonnes of TNT.

Just a little fun fact

[youarenowawarepodcast]

I’m wondering if 3 people died or 3 KNOWN people died. Because this sounds so huge that only three people dying sounds like an absolute miracle

[zoeh.]

Thank you for always including imperial AND metric measurements!

im so happy I stumbled across your channel. I've been binge watching these videos for days and I have to say you're now one of my favourite horror narration channels. your voice, the script, the background music, everything is just A+

Same thing happened over Ukraine, remember a few years ago, it was caught on camera, exploding meteorite, except it was higher in the atmosphere, but still strong enough to break windows on buildings, Tunguska one exploded way closer to the earth

[MegaAstroFan]

The fact that the Chelyabinsk meteor event in 2013 unfolded in an eerily similar way to the reports from Tunguska, except over a city, I think further supports the idea that it was an exploding meteor. And that didn't leave a crater or notable fragment either, and what WAS left behind would definitely have been gone if it spent a decade or more in the wilds.

[Zilkenian_Davenport]

2013, in Russia as well, a meteorite fell, causing an explosion as it entered the atmosphere, and then created a wave that affected many people in km around it.
A very interesting, yet frightening incident in our modern era.

I appreciate that you don't lend any credence to conspiracy theories and paranormal explanations to these, you just stick to the facts :)

[personaverygrata]

I'm binge watching as much videos as I can these past few days. I absolutely adore the tone, the pacing and the choice of details.
