Knowing this makes your calculations a lot simpler. 1l = 1dm^3 = 1kg water.

No, really.. I've recreated this phenomena right here in my own home! All you need is a match and some good chili. It was a methane explosion caused by release of the gas from melting permefrost.

The icy core of a meteor exploding in the atmosphere indeed. How does that explain the trees down pattern? My vote is with Steve. Regards, Maj Den What must these guys have been smoking.

The icy core of a meteor exploding in the atmosphere indeed.

How does that explain the trees down pattern?

My vote is with Steve.

Water weighs 8.32487 lb/gal (US). 600,000 divided by 8.32487 equals 72,073.2 (US) gal. A 20 ft. by 40 ft. pool (3 ft. to 8 ft. deep) holds about 32,000 (US) gal. Therefore, one would fill about 2.25 real (US) swimming pools. Must have been the 'metric tons' that made it off by a factor of "40.8" (US). re: Item 2, above- A different Dennis figures that 300 (US) tons times 2,000 (US) lb/ton equals 600,000 (US) lb.

Tesla is never brought up in the scientific community. We know he was working on a death ray. We know that the power went out in Colorado and we know that he was trying to demonstrate that power over the North Pole. Tesla is vilified by most because of Edison's rewriting of history but his death ray has to be taken into the conversation. Behind Max Planck and Albert Einstein, he is the third smartest person from that era! It was Tesla look into it.

Moreover there was unusual strong skyglow in Antarctic about 7 hours BEFORE Tunguska!
