from History Mystery · host History Mystery

Episode 12 | History's Mysteries — Unexplained EventsIn this Mystery episode we focus on the Tunguska Event — the 1908 explosion above a remote Siberian forest that released the energy of 1,000 Hiroshima bombs, flattened 80 million trees, and left no crater and no debris.This episode covers the eyewitness accounts, the 19-year wait before anyone investigated, the airburst explanation that science has settled on, the theories that science has eliminated, and the most important lesson of Tunguska — that an object the size of a football field could arrive without warning and level a city.It happened over an uninhabited forest by sheer accident of timing. The margin was the rotation of the earth.#HistoryMystery #TunguskaEvent #SpaceHistory #UnsolvedMysteries #MysteryPodcast
