The Blinding Tear over Vanavara (Podkamennaya Tunguska, Siberia – June 30, 1908)
On the quiet morning of June 30, 1908, the sky over the Siberian taiga split open in a blinding flash hotter than the surface of the sun, scorching clothes on observers sixty miles away. Before the thunderous roar arrived, an invisible shockwave tore through the wilderness, flattening eighty million trees across two thousand square kilometers in seconds and tossing remote Evenki herders off their feet into a altered landscape.
