    Interesting video and analysis; however, I wish you would have spent more time explaining the impacts if it occurred in the same location today beyond "it would be the same". If it happened in the same location today, there would be widespread reporting of this event worldwide and global air traffic would likely be disrupted. There might be more human impacts as I am sure there are more populated places closer to the Tunguska impact point compared to in 1908.

    I feel like this would’ve benefitted from looking at how much of the earth’s surface is land, then how much of earth is cities etc. Iirc cities/towns are only about 1% of the earth’s surface, so this makes a huge and devastating asteroid strike likely only once in 100,000 years. Of course, we could get unlucky, but it seems like much less of an issue than climate change, pandemics, etc.

      The Earth isn't sitting still in space while it rotates. A few minutes earlier or later and it might have missed Earth completely. Don't forget, Earth is traveling around the sun at 30,000 meters per second, or 18.6 miles per second. The radius of Earth is 3,958 miles, the distance of which will be traversed in 3.54 minutes. That's enough distance to cause the asteroid to just barely miss.

    The danger if this theoretical event occurred over the "wrong" city or nation, it could very likely cause an accidental nuclear war.

    Around a decade ago I actually saw a meteor burn up in the atmosphere. It was in the western United States, but happened in the middle of the night. I never felt a shockwave, but the brightness was incredible. For a few seconds, everything was lit up as if it was daytime with an eerie blue light. As it happened, I was convinced that total annihilation was on hand, but then it disappeared like a whisper beyond distant mountains. I would have doubted my experience, but there was someone else with me; the next day I asked around to see who had seen it. Only a handful of people had been outside at that time of the night; and so, hardly any notice was given.

    You'd have massive tsunamis if it hit NYC too. The harbor, the river, long island sound, you'd have massive coastal damage carried along by the waves, and probably a lot of damage on the other side of the atlantic as a consequence

    • @tornado1050
      @tornado1050 3 роки тому

      Not sure about damage on the other side of the Atlantic, you have to remember that the Atlantic is the 2nd largest ocean and the energy would dissipate over a large area so the large waves wouldn't hit Europe.

      He's talking about an impact roughly equivalent to the one that killed the dinosaurs, which is stimated at about a 12 on the richter scale. Absolutely you'd get tsunamis

      @@mahatmarandy5977 Incorrect, Galen Gisler, a specialist in the field said:"An asteroid impact is a point source and it only affects the immediate region around the impact point and moreover, to create a tsunami, you need something that disturbs the entire water column." He also has pointed out that asteroids don't make great tsunamis especially if they are below 300 meters which tunguska is.

    It is amazing how the rotation of the earth happened to allow the Tunguska Event to hit in the middle of nowhere. I know odds were it would not have hit a big city due to the way the earth was populated at the time. But still. Reminds me of the poem “The Convergence of the Twain,” about the Titanic and the iceberg.
