The Mystery of the Tunguska Event #37 - a podcast by SMP

Did a meteor cause a 30 megaton explosion over Siberia in 1908? This week on Solvable Mysteries we discuss the Tunguska event, an explosion by a space object that even now brings up many questions and concerns about our ability to defend ourselves from space objects.



Welcome to Solvable Mysteries Podcast, hosted by Juras Sim and co-hosted by Glenn Highcove.  During this episode we discuss the mysterious Tunguska event, where a massive explosion flattened 830 square miles of forest.  While the world is fortunate that this did not happen in a populated area of the world, it is a stark warning of the dangers we face from meteors and other celestial objects that might strike the Earth.  It also is a prime example of the destruction that comes from a multi-megaton explosion above a target area, a scary foreshadowing of the potential carnage a nuclear attack would make with similar levels of explosive impact.



We hope you enjoyed the show, we greatly appreciate any feedback from our listeners, please share your thoughts in the comment section.
