We chatted about this 'incident' on the old board, but a 100th anniversary seems like a good time to mention it again. Fascinating, if you've never read about it before. Still fascinating if you have.

The story here.

And look at that. I finally figured out the link thing. Yay me.

I love the whole Tunguska thing. Total wowness. (And it was the basis of one of the best episodes of The X Files.)

Schlumberger in the Comments section would be right at home on Have Your Say (or indeed Speak You're Brane):

"I have done my research on this topic and also think along with Dr. Beatrice that it was a fight amongst spirits. I have conducted ectoplasmic readings at the site and found them to be very high. The undead rule that place, and it shakes fear into my very marrow."

Crikey.
