Thanks for that account. It is the first that I had read that mentioned the Tunguska event of 1908. Glad that it appears that no dead so far and only a few serious injuries.

From the article:

Quote:
One Russian politician said the event was not a meteor shower but a US weapons test, Russia's Interfax news agency reported.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party, was quoted as saying: "Meteors are falling. Those are not meteors, it is Americans testing their new weapon."

It's nice to know that outlandish conspiracy theorists are not confined to the United States. Is the Liberal Democratic Party the Russian equivalent of the American Tea Party?
