- Rollic, on 07/07/2009, -0/+28You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -2/+24Tesla or GTFO!
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+18^^These people edit Wikipedia
- dwsampson, on 07/07/2009, -0/+17well, considering WWII didn't start until 1939, and this happened in 1908, I don't think it was caused by a Russian nuclear test. Unless they had time machines, which I'm pretty sure they didn't.
- dwsampson, on 07/07/2009, -2/+19It was actually a misfire from Nikola Tesla's death ray... look it up.
</conspiracy theory> - norman619, on 07/07/2009, -0/+17Sorry but the blast took place LONG before WWII.
- boomcubist, on 07/07/2009, -1/+11Well the Allies had chronospheres...
- DarthVolta, on 07/07/2009, -2/+12Guys, come on. It's syntaxgs.
You just got trolled, hard. - OneOfNone, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7Come on, it's spelled Tunguska (not Tunguksa).
National Geographic has some obligation to be, you know, geographic. - snurfle, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7Old.
Carl Sagan called this one in 1982. - norman619, on 07/07/2009, -4/+11All we will ever have are guesses. We will never really know what blew up there. I wish they would stop saying "Mystery Solved" when they come up with a new theory. The next theory will be a pixie with a terminal case of heartburn was the cause.
- MacEnvy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6BIG SKY ROCK HIT GROUND, GO BOOM BOOM.
- sipsyrup, on 07/07/2009, -3/+8There is a new submission every week about how this was finally solved...
- Gloogle, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4This was solved like 30 years ago! Look for the documentary.
- graemee, on 07/07/2009, -1/+5It was the Philadelphia experiment.
- theviceroy, on 07/07/2009, -1/+5Naw the Marcabians were trying to pick their ship up but couldn't tell the difference between Siberia and Antartica, and then they crashed again. They really suck at low-orbit flight.
- btrute, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4Only on Digg, do you get a rehashed science story on the front page, after most other media sources posted same story more then 2 weeks ago: http://chattahbox.com/science/2009/06/25/study-giv ...
- UselessTrivia, on 07/07/2009, -0/+4Never cross the streams!
- Killbot2015, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Actually it didn't hit the ground at all, it blew up before it could.
- digitalArtform, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3Meanwhile, Barcelona looked like this in 1908
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJdwzY1o7k8 - RyanBlueThunder, on 07/07/2009, -1/+4We all know it was really just the Chimera invasion
- biblthmp, on 07/07/2009, -1/+4Tesla was trying to create an artificial "Northern lights", for some explorers were exploring the North Pole, but his "death ray" bounced off the atmosphere, causing the huge explosion.
- OneOfNone, on 07/07/2009, -0/+3I always wondered why the hell Tesla tested his death ray in Siberia. But it all makes sense now: he used it to shoot down a comet, and saved everyone. It would have destroyed London or something.
- decker12, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3I am going to name my first born TUNGUKSA. That's a *****' NAME.

but still dugg for National Geographic. - Cypher19, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3Came into the thread to see this, and I leave happy.
/watched Ghostbusters on bluray over the weekend
//man, hi-def really doesn't make film grain look good - MacEnvy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2You're always so negative, norman. Come on, chin up, enjoy the news for once.
- greggerm, on 07/07/2009, -0/+2Tunguska taught a roundhouse kicking class in his younger days. Chuck Norris was his worst student.
- vizerei, on 07/07/2009, -1/+3Wow! I'm glad this got solved again. I've been worrying it was unsolved since I saw this article last week.
I can now sleep soundly! - thanakar, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Not really, there is a marked difference between filming a movie with a high definition camera and filming one with a normal camera.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -1/+2aliens did it with their ice ship
- ProfessorRiffs, on 07/07/2009, -1/+2IT'S A SHOWDOWN!!!
- Witchdoktor, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Movies are filmed on.... film. They are already "high def".... Now you can go buy some movies!
- OswaldKenobi, on 07/07/2009, -1/+2Definitely Tesla.
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -4/+5I crossed a stream once. I went to the other side...
- dwsampson, on 07/13/2009, -0/+1True... but Hitler had contact with aliens. I'll bet he had some kind of contraption to prevent the manipulation of the space-time continuum.
- Killbot2015, on 07/07/2009, -1/+2Why are people digging this down? Hes saying that this is a duplicate story and he's right. In fact it already made front page on digg like 2 weeks ago...
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/07/2009, -0/+1I didn't know it was possible to misspell your child's name before they were born...
- SnackNStack, on 07/07/2009, -1/+1We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
- smpaisnutrients, on 07/07/2009, -2/+2it was actually a hoax perpetrated by the pro-astronomy society of the world (PASW) to try and get moar people to like space and stars and *****. tunguska is so remote that they had plenty of time to bulldoze all those trees, and the locals were still from the medieval mindset so all they had to do there was shoot off some artillery, the locals all fall to their knees begging God for mercy, swearing up and down that the entire night sky was burning.
as for the british noctilucence? A key word in that story is "scientists." SCIENTISTS said that it was bright enough to read a paper at night. Aren't ASTRONOMERS considered scientists?
tl:dr = MYSTERY SOL-VED - dwsampson, on 07/07/2009, -1/+1A JOKE, GAIZ
^^^ that's what it was
*rolls eyes* - graemee, on 07/07/2009, -1/+1Yes, but they were compromised by the British secret service and the prototype they built at Tunguksa exploded due to a simple yet purposefully designed flaw.
- borez, on 07/07/2009, -2/+1Nope, he never delivered it and ripped the Russians off.
- WatIsNotTaknYet, on 07/07/2009, -1/+0People who dugg this guy down=troll'd.
Seriously, how can you think he was being serious? - thanakar, on 07/07/2009, -4/+1Unless a movie was filmed with a high def camera no about of encoding is going to make a non high def movie look hi def. That is the reason I don't buy converted to blu-ray movies, they suck visually.
- dwsampson, on 07/07/2009, -4/+1Yes, that's basically what I said. lol
- sebedard, on 07/07/2009, -6/+2explain that in english please.
- syntaxgs, on 07/07/2009, -32/+1UH actual lee I see this on TV and it wasn,t a comit it was nuke test done by the russia in world war 2
