Today is the 104th anniversary of a historic explosion that still has no clear explanation.
It happened in Tunguska, a remote forest area in the middle of Siberia.
The blast had the power of 15 megatons of TNT, roughly a thousand times that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima Japan. The event was so powerful that it was felt and heard a thousand miles away.
Locals believed the blast was supernatural, caused by a god that was punishing people for their wickedness.
Scientists, on the other hand, believed it was a meteor.
Here’s Where It Gets Weird
20 years passed before the first Russian scientists went to the site to investigate.

If it was a meteor, there would be a crater and meteorite fragments.
However, there was no crater. And there were no fragments.
In fact, at the epicenter of the explosion was a grove of untouched, fully grown trees. Surrounding that tiny grove was around 800 square miles of leveled trees.

I’ve heard a lot of explanations. I guess that was also during the time when Tesla was experimenting.

Billo is right. Tesla believed he had the knowledge to effectively slice our small planet into halves. His experiment that culminated in the Siberia event, he claimed was calculated imprecisely and he didn’t know what was occurring at the ANTIPODE of his experiment, or the other side of the world
I think it’s a very good explanation considering that guy worked 20 hours a day
