The Mysterious Tunguska Event That Baffles Scientists To This Day
By Gabe Paoletti on December 1, 2017
"Over Onkoul's Tunguska Road, the sky split in two and fire appeared high and wide over the forest."
One day in 1908, an explosion 1,000 times greater than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima erupted in the remote Siberian wilderness, shattering the calm of the icy landscape and flattening 80 million trees in the area.
What exactly caused this devastating blast is still in question to this day.
On June 30, 1908, at around 7:17 a.m. local time, the few inhabitants of the remote Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk Krai awoke to see a column of blue light, nearly as bright as the sun, moving across the sky.
