Read synopsis
The Tunguska event occurred on June 30, 1908, when a massive explosion flattened around 2,000 square kilometers of forest near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Siberia, Russia. Believed to have been caused by the airburst of a meteor or comet fragment, the blast released energy equivalent to millions of tons of TNT, making it the largest impact event in recorded history.
