Good job it wasn't in the same league as the 1908 Russian one,

Imagine what that would do to a populated area.

I have always been fascinated by the Tunguska event!!
It's believed that the material has never touched down but because of the air explosition magnitude it was like something actually hit the ground!! However there were speculation on a vulcano activitie occured back then in that area! There is still many unansweared question about the tunguska event! I think if a meteor like this would hit a populated area there would be millions casualtys even though if it hit just a small city!
