A fairly impressive sonic boom. From what I gathered from CNN this morning, it was traveling over 5 times the speed of sound.

If this meteor killed around 400 people and it was 2 meters long, what would have happened if the 50 meter meteor hit the earth.

New reports say it injured 1000 people. However there have been no reports of fatalities. 400 people were not killed. A loud sonic boom and vibrations enough to break glass and a few roofs was all the damage reported. It wasn't all that tragic. However the 1908 meteor that hit Russia was close to the size of the astroid that will be passing by tonight. It decimated 800 miles of forest.

Not even close. More like 50 times the speed of sound! The reported speed of the meteor of 40,000 mph is over 50 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound is about 750 mph at standard air temperatures.

What if it were 200 miles across!

Sound Familiar...
1908: Tesla repeated the idea of destruction by electrical waves on April 21st. His letter to an associate stated, "When I spoke of future warfare I meant that it should be conducted by direct application of electrical waves without the use of aerial engines or other implements of destruction." He added: "This is not a dream. Even now wireless power plants could be constructed by which any region of the globe might be rendered uninhabitable without subjecting the population of other parts to serious danger or inconvenience." One month later, the event in Siberia occurred:

June 30, 1908: An explosion estimated to be equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT flattened 500,000 acres of pine forest near the Stony Tunguska River in central Siberia. Whole herds of reindeer were destroyed. The explosion was heard over a radius of 620 miles.

When an expedition was made to the area in 1927 to find evidence of the meteorite presumed to have caused the blast, no impact crater was found. No meteorite was found. When the ground was drilled for pieces of nickel, iron, or stone, the main constituents of meteorites, none were found down to a depth of 118 feet. Many explanations have been given for the Tunguska event. The officially accepted version is that a 100,000 ton fragment of Encke's Comet, composed mainly of dust and ice, entered the atmosphere at 62,000 mph, heated up, and exploded over the earth's surface creating a fireball and shock wave but no crater. complementary versions of the disaster see a renegade mini-black hole or an alien space ship crashing into the earth with the resulting release of energy. Associating Tesla with the Tunguska event comes close to putting the inventor's power transmission idea in the same speculative category as ancient astronauts. However, by looking at the above chronology, it can be seen that real historical facts point to the possibility that this event was caused by a test firing of Tesla's energy weapon.

The explosion in Siberia occurred at 9:05pm e.s.t. on a day when Tesla had sent all of his employees home for the evening and locked the compound. He had remained in the laboratory. At the moment of the event, power outages occurred simultaneously in New York and along the eastern seaboard. Tesla went to New York the following day where he obsessed over news reports from the region for several days before returning home.

In 1907 and 1908, Tesla wrote about the destructive effects of his energy transmitter. His Wardenclyffe transmitter was much larger than the Colorado Springs device that destroyed the power station's generator. His new transmitter would be capable of effects many orders of magnitude greater than the Colorado device. In 1915, he said he had already built a transmitter that "... may be used to destroy property and life."
