Meteor Devastation in Siberia: Big Bang in Tunguska | Full Documentary 

On the bright side, at least the explosion killed 800 billion trillion mosquitoes.

Carl Sagan was pretty sure that the Tunguska event was caused by a cometary fragment that exploded above the forest, essentially an airburst. The Earth was passing through the well-documented debris trail of a comet at the time. I haven't seen anything yet that seems a better explanation.

It was the really big ice comet/meteorite with high concentration of gases (hydrogen, helium or even methane) which exploded above the ground, it explains why there are no traces of extraterrestrial rocks nor minerals, and almost every other phenomenon in connection with this event.

113 years later and no one really knows. Lack of a crater, lack of substantial evidence and access to the area back then make it difficult but the Chelyabinsk event is quite similar.

It burst in the atmosphere. That's why there's no crater.

I'm 14 minutes in and I'm placing my bets on an asteroid that exploded in earths atmosphere before it hit the ground.

The Tunguska area is a marshland, the ground could be saturated with methane gas formed during decades. Could the shock wave in front of a meteorite have freed this gas from under ground over a large area and could the heat from the meteorite then have ignited this gas causing a blast that pulverized the meteorite ? That should make determining the cause of the disaster (from inner earth or outer space) very difficult !

I am not a herpetologist, but that snake isn’t poisonous. Snakes are venomous, not poisonous. It’s a Russian rat snake and it’s neither.

I enjoyed this documentary very much. I especially appreciate all of the theories presented and the reasons why the theories exist. It's very cool to see the footage of the Tunguska area from so many years ago - and the footage of the area covered by today's scientists. Fascinating stuff - thank you!

There have been several similar events recorded. Oct. 8, 1871 the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin was wiped out and 1200 people were killed when a comet nucleus approximately 100 yards in diameter exploded about 20 miles up. It uprooted trees, removed roof tops and chimneys as well as started extreme rolling fire. . Aug. 13, 1930 the Rio Curaca event. It was an asteroid that exploded over western Brazil. Hundreds of miles of forest were destroyed and fires burned for months. . Dec. 11, 1935 Marudi Mountain event. 3 asteroids exploded in the sky over Brazil and British Gayana near Marudi Mountain. A load roar and repercussions were reported as well as the night sky being lit up as if it was day time. A huge swath of forest was destroyed buy trees being broken off or pushed over.

Thank you so much, and for the additional Channel recos. Much appreciated!! This has always been a fascinating subject to me, and so many others as we can see by the comments. It's great!! 🧡💙 9:27 lol "another kind of blast"

My favourite astronomy channel

Pretty compelling doc!

Could it be a solid methane or even ice meteorite exploding above ground by being violently overheat during descent? Shower of methane meteorites broken away from main one by Sun's heat before entering atmosphere would explain 1 hour long event. Methane is good fertilizer as well.

My guess is a comet exploded in the atmosphere sending a solid part of it to the ground & that collision caused volcanic activity & a gas eruption.There was a chain reaction.As the part may have been affected by the activity,it maybe impossible to recognise today.The stone at 23:51 may verify this,if its investigated further.

I think there are some facts to say that Tesla did some experiments in this area same time about wirelessenergy transmission

Am extremely interesting documentary which also begs a question? As the Tunguska area has been a densely forested area for possibly thousands of years and it seems to be an excepted theory that every one hundred years or so, forested areas like the Amazon etc, experience a Methane release generated by decades of organic matter degrading and compacting with every passing season. My question is; could a Comet or Meteorite passing at a very low altitude over an area that at the same time was experiencing a natural release of Methane and due to the extreme heat generated by the astral body, not be another plausible theory for the explosion that took place at Tunguska and has this been considered?

what company produced this documentary

proof that there’s no point in overthinking the future at the consequence of enjoying the present. 💚💚💚

This was well done and was also thought provoking (if a bit kitsch now and then), but the ridiculous number of interruptions from commercials has completely turned me off to this channel. And, NO, I can’t use adware bc I’m using an iPad in the semi-prone posture. And, NO, I am NOT buying anything from RU-vid....they make enough money as it is. Thankfully, there are many other channels to choose from, and the most legitimate ones aren’t monetized, so I won’t be bothered every 7-10 minutes with ad interruptions. This one video taught me all I need to know about this channel. Sayonara!

Don't you hate that?! You travel all that way to go and enjoy a nice picnic and then all this happens!

Great documentary but we definitely need more adverts.

Had to be an air burst like the one over the Russian city a few years ago. It was a small meteorite and yet it blew out windows and doors for miles.

I'm going to use the term 'Hella Dropa' to describe people that are high on drugs from now on.

I love a good mystery! No evidence of a meteorite strike, but I suppose any of the classic elements like iridium could have been dissipated in the event of the body vapourising in the upper atmosphere... has anyone looked at the possibility of something like cosmic rays / gamma ray burst from a nearby supernova etc? I'm an engineer and not a scientist, but this stuff does fascinate me.

I saw a video years ago that said it was a UFO and they actually found pieces of metal embedded in the trees and that made more sense to me, they cover up everything I always like to do my own research and reach my own conclusion.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were both aerial explosions, as I understand. I have never seen or read that they left craters. There was a damaged, but standing, structure at the epicenter.

I am really enjoy of This video, perfect

Fortunately for us it didn't hit metropolitan area. I believe in divinity. This can't be a coincidence, in 2013 another asteroid hits our moon big enough to cause apocalypse event on earth. Was the moon happened to be in the right place at the right place to take the hit instead of us?

Typical modern "science" doc; making a mockery of "conspiracy theories" while establishing absolutely nothing at all.

As someone who likes to read about this stuff, I'm saddened to see any mentions of the Tunguska event on RU-vid full of the ancient aliens kooks who found out about it only recently. Makes a mockery of the science.

Thanks a lot

Tall-El Hammam Meteorite Airburst in Jordan, north of the Dead Sea, several thousand years ago. SEE: A Tunguska sized airburst destroyed Tall el-Hammam a Middle Bronze Age city in the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea. (It's a peer review article written in a "Scientific Journal")

In a seventh grade science class in the early 1970's I read an article about this that purposed it was anti-matter. Which lead me to a career in Physics to try to understand this. Still have no idea what it was.

Just like the other in Russia it exploded above ground and they found the other in water so it could be anywhere

It was a massive methane release and explosion

The sonic boom. We have present day video of how the sound from the explosion can cause a lot of damage. It was the Chelyabinsk meteorite. The sound afterwards caused even some buildings to collapse, and that was a small one.

What if it was a freak combination of two events, say, a kind of volcanic explosion (hence the fertile ground and displaced rocks and tree roots), and an asteroid/comet which exploded before impact (hence the telegraph pole trees and the radial flattened forest). Just a quick idea.

10:31 is that a face to the left?

More than likely it was a bigger version of the recent Russian meteorite strike, except that it exploded in mid air..

Must be an old documentary, we know the answer now. Below if you're interested. It was a comet impact, a steep angled airburst. They figured this out after the Chelyabinsk, Russia asteroid strike. Modelling the Chelyabinsk strike (a shallow angle asteroid airburst) showed the speed of these things at impact has a dramatic effect on the shape of the explosion and could easily produce the Tunguska event. Basically take the Chelyabinsk strike and instead of it streaking across the sky, turn it straight down towards the ground and you have Tunguska.

unfortunately humans have failed to interpret mass destruction as a friendly message from aliens

I talked to Profesor Ivan , and he said in 2022 can be happend in West Europe in Germany betwen Austria.

Yeah, didn't it leave trees standing in the epicenter? That blast came from above...

Over 25 commercials on this docu about 1h.. really overdoing it..

They talk about the fertility of the area ,Ammonia fertilizer is produced by reacting Methane with water and air containing Nitrogen ,so a possibility is that an airburst meteorite provided the heat and pressure to form Ammonium Nitrate which is a good Fertiliser .. Furthering the theory of gas explosions that went on for a while.

i dont know what kind of an expolsion lay em tree neatly on the ground but did not punture the ground?

There's no record of volcanic activity in the ice...so no volcano!

In just the past year evidence has been examined showing a much greater such event at the Tall el Hammam area in Jordan. The CRG, Comet Research Group are involved in the analysis of the evidence.

30:24 - I'm guessing the thief's name is Superman or the Incredible Hulk?

theory : 121 what i think what happened then is a fact that is certain the three inerplanets mercury venus and the moon aligned in the direction of the sun opposite the earth you can check this on an app solarsystemscope.This is also not an isolated event. This also happened in Welsh Roswell in the UK but on a smaller scale and then the planets were also aligned with Venus and the Moon. Another fact is if you want to bring two magnets together when the poles are facing each other then that is not possible you have a resistor and this is also energy in itself since planets also have poles the energy is also on a larger scale this is what i think what happened

I'm sure the Tunguska explosion was a large iron asteroid that exploded many miles above the earth. The explosion was so great that the largest fragments probably vaporized from the intense fire and heat. Still the largest fragments could have even be hundreds of miles away from the explosion sight and are just waiting to be found. I don't believe it was a comet or small meteor. This object was something very large and solid. An iron asteroid is the most probable cause for sure.

Was the Tungusta explosion a result of a meteor or earth based volcanic mania? Did anyone observe a meteor? I dont think so.

I love the theory that it was a mosquito explosion there's so many of them little blighters you need a meteor to rid them for a week or so only for them to come back and suck the life out of you?

The Law of One by Ra. tells a slightly different story about this event and many others in our history

what if they overstated the actual size and damages/effects of the event Afterall we;;ve only seen acouple of shoots of ancient videoclips worth of minutes. And we know people back then, even scientists had tendacy to overestimated things for literally as overstating. That was their style I thought that was the case here. We've seen big monkey upright whcih turn out to be normal monkey with rod/stick used to make it looks upright. We have many other cases such as tornado rating F (now enchanced with EF), and many many more.

💯

Russia's biggest storehouse of vodka exploded.

Its Krakatoa not Cracatoa

16:20 They were searching for antimatter?

should not it be in fire and little pieces?

44:56

It's happened in the past, and it "might" happen in the future. does he know what future means? it's like saying that humans might make war in the future.

spaceship

The amazon series The Tick, season one episode one, revealed that the Tunguska Event was caused by the arrival of Superian. A supposed superhero who ends up (spoiler alert) being revealed to be an evil fugitive....

It was the extraterrestrial craft trying to reach out Earth and exploded by Earth watchers....

I find it funny when people use another item to show scale. Like this vid they said it was an area the size of greater London. WTF does that mean, might as well say its the same as the moon on Endor, lol majority of people have no idea about the size of either place. IDK its funny to me.

2:29 no different, just sai7a.

Sorry folks it was that bean I ate.

Wouldn't Prof Polzer's head look great mounted on his museum wall??

Soviets were way ahead of their time.

Anyone heard 10:45 "Syomki prekratite!" "Stop filming!" )

I have seen clips of this in a comedy on HBO years ago 😂

All I’m going to say. Look at the timeline of massive world inventions after the impact. Specially in Russia. Kinda odd

كلا ثم كلا لا بالنار ذات الوقود ولا بسماء ذات بروج من الألماس يصدق أحد عاقل أن صنم يجعل نيزك يخترق السماء الحافظه للأرض ويرتطم بها ويبيد عشائر وقباىل. يعني الذي يدعي أنه صدق أن صنم فعل ذالك لربما يكون موعود بقفة لحمه مفرومه ناعم

That alien race must have rhe worst pilots in the galaxy. Crashed and then the rescue mission crashes 🎉😂

It wasn't a meteor it was Nikola Tesla getting careless with his Tesla Gun at Wardencliff on Long Island.

might be a methane explosion .

apparently, it was Nikola Tesla responsible for that one. sending the burst of electrical energy through the ionosphere, while conducting an experiment about wireless electricity or something like that.

the reason they cant find evidence of crater is because of the marsh terrain which just swallowed it so there is no remains of the meteorite either. The remote location is the main reason for all the mystery about it

It happened in the time Tesla had his Tesla tower operating.!

There is evidence but no probable cause, what happens in Tunguska, stays in Tunguska...

Thank you to the Aliens who intercepted the comet and sacrificed their alien lives to save the earth and the humankind.

Why did this documentary immediately start talking about UFOs and aliens right away? There were no aliens or UFOs at this event. This is a pretty standard asteroid or a comet event, where a trans Neptunian object, or Oort cloud object came racing in and happen to collide with us or earth pass through a normal meteor shower. And we just happen to have a larger rock or a comet this time. The earth has been getting hit by rocks and comets for literally billions of years just like every other planet and moon in the solar system. obviously the heavy bombardment. God, most of these and Jupiter has been our best vacuum cleaner and has sucked up many objects, so that they didn’t hit earth. But every single day, since the earth formed, there have been rocks and comets coming into our atmosphere. Most of them burn up and most these days are not that big, but every 50 to 100 years we get a decent size one and every few million years we get a bigger one and every 500 million years or so we get a massive one. This is all standard stock, nothing new. So why are we talking about UFOs, and aliens? I don’t care of people have theories about this. People are stupid. Especially poorly educated people who are scientifically, illiterate, conservatives, religious people, backwoods, people, etc. The documentaries should stick to the facts and if they wanna talk about, UFOs are aliens, then make a passing joke about it and move onto the actual science. Moving onto a different documentary for sure.

....it was Elvis!

Ahh. Fukkin ads. I quit

Click bait ...

I tend to agree with prof Wolfgang Kunt .. but who knows .. except He that made us

The couldroms destroy the ships because they're few species on this rocks too advance for your species

Three minutes in come the alien theories. Don’t waste your time.

Though this is a more recent documentary I highly recommend this other one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O30ytTSRHpo.html the film is a work of art. This one is decent and professional but the other one is just mesmerizing!

Airburst, just like chelybiansk.

doesn't explain it .. Trees fell in one direction. Not circular

nothing came from them make any sense

scatter

if you dont know go ask the gods they are the crazy one

Scp001!!!
