The TUNGUSKA EVENT was a POWERFUL EXPLOSION, in Russia, 1908.

There's been plenty of theories, but the most accepted one is that it was a meteorite falling towards Earth that shattered just before impact.

Due to the remote area, no one was killed, but there were destruction of forests and damages to houses several miles away.
