The part I found interesting because I never even heard of this event:



I had no idea we had an asteroid impact of that large in recent times.
Actually the evidence heavily supports the theory that it was a large comet that exploded just before it would have made contact with the earth, because there was no rocky asteroid debris or large crater at the center of the explosion.
