The Methane release theory does not jive with the fact that there has never been any kind of similar (smaller) release of Methane that exploded ever recorded. If the process was possible, we would have evidence of other events ocurring in the last 100 years (even if they are a million times smaller than this event.)
If you’ve ever seen what hyper-velocity long-rod penetrators do to tank armor it isn’t that hard to picture something like the Tunguska event being mainly a result of speed of impact of whatever was involved.
I'm just glad it hit out in the middle of nowhere in Siberia, instead of in a populated area.
Oops - misread headline and thought it was about Yakov Smirnoff...
Too bad we can’t bottle this up and drop one each on Tehran, Damascus and Riyadh.
