Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
VladSander from Discord asks, Hey, Gary. Recently, there was a Meteor that reportedly exploded off the Massachusetts coast. Could it have been something similar to the Tunguska event?
No, it wasn’t nearly as big. It was a daytime fireball, which is quite rare, and it was notable for that reason, but it was nothing on the scale of the Tunguska Event, which was basically the power of a 10 to 15 megaton nuclear weapon.
It was probably closer or smaller to the Chelyabinsk meteor which landed in Russia in 2013. It broke windows and set off car alarms, but didn’t kill anyone, although there were a lot of minor injuries from the debris.
