A Siberian History

Siberia has had a lot of memorable events happen in the last hundred years, but nothing seems to be more interesting than the Tunguska explosion in 1908, an event that still remains a mystery. One June morning, residents near the Tunguska area reported seeing flashes and a boom. It was later reported that this was merely an earthquake, but later, upon further invesitgation, many scientists believed that an asteroid caused the explosion that was even more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima in World War II. This explosion is still a great mystery to the world, leaving us to wonder: could it happen again in a more populated area?
