From the beginning of time man has always wondered how the world will end be it from another great flood or a nuclear war. So few people realize that one day in 1908 the world escaped the most horrific disaster imaginable except for a doomsday event and didn't even realize it. Scientists have debated whether the object that struck the forests of Siberia that day was a meteor or an asteroid (some have even suggested it was a UFO). By some wonderful stroke of fate the object landed in one fo the few areas of the world where it caused no human fatalities. If it had hit a major city there woulld have been hundreds of thousands dead if it had landed in the ocean it would have caused tidal waves that would have obliterated entire continents. It is almost too terrible to think about.
