For those who dont know what the Tunguska Event was:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_Event
Lets say that, instead of striking pretty much uninhabited forest, Paris, Berlin, London, or some other major European city gets a taste of 20 megatons of TNT. Or that it lands in the North Sea or Atlantic off of France or Spain, or even in the Med.
In 1908, what do you think the effects of such a catastrophic event would be? Mass panic? War? The nations of Earth uniting to defend against the evil rock-chucking aliens from space?
POD is about 12,000,000,000 BC, when a dust particle stuck a chunk of rock spinning through space and changed its course ever so slightly
