Earth Dodged a Bullet 112 Years Ago

The Tunguska Event in 1908 may not have been an exploding comet. It may have been a very near miss from an iron asteroid, which went over 400 miles through the atmosphere over Siberia and then continued on its way.

That asteroid was/is nowhere near as large as the Chicxulub impactor. Even so, it it had smacked dead-on, it would have been a very bad day for almost everyone.

I'm ready to believe it since the Tunguska area has been searched so throughly and yet no trace of meteorite remains have ever been discovered. The exploding comet has been the favorite theory for that reason- since a comet is mostly ice no trace would remain except water vapor. But if the scientists say no comet could travel that far through the atmosphere then some other explanation is needed. I wonder if searching for iron dust from 1908 would be productive. Too bad they didn't have the radars and telescopes of the 21st century, they could have tracked the course of the bolide and determined where it orginated and possibly find where where it is today. See, not all Russians are ratfucking hackers and GRU poison assassins, they do some good science.

Actually, the researchers used dashcams and cell phone videos to determine the trajectory of the infamous window shattering meteoric explosion.
