The perplexing Tunguska Event happened on June 30, 1908. There are still a lot of questions as to exactly what happened on that day. |

Yep, that's pretty much been the concensus since it happened. Nothing really mysterious about it. |

Except for the fact that no meteor fragments have ever been found. I think a comet, which generates more energy and is more likely to blow apart leaving no traces of itself is a more likely the cause. There is also a newer theory which says that the destruction may not have come from above, but from below. A giant build-up of gases from the swamp may have exploded and leveled the trees. Personally, I think that is grasping at straws. |
