onko tää totta

SIkäli kun ymmärrän lukemaani, niin vahvasti liioiteltuja ovat ne tiedot joiden mukaan kymmeniä ihmisiä olisi kuollut. Taloja vaurioitui, kun kivenmurikoita tulia katosta sisään, mutta kukaan ei kuollut, onneksi.

March 27, 2003 (Park Forest) — A
meteor shower lit up the skies last night,
and parts of the meteor damaged several
homes in the southwest suburbs.

A chunk of the space rock fell through
the roof of Noe Garza's Park Forest
house, swiped a window, and rolled
across the floor before breaking a mirrored closet door.

"I thought somebody was breaking in. It was a big bang. I can't really
describe it. I mean it was too quick to think," said Noe Garza, house hit
by meteorite.

Garza and his family didn't know what was happening until they turned
on a light. That's when 13-year-old Robert realized a five pound meteor
fell just a few feet from where he was sleeping.

"As soon as I heard the big noises, I just curled up in a little ball and
stayed there had until it was all over, and then I yelled for my dad," said
Robert.

A news photographer shooting a fire scene on the Southwest Side
caught the flash of bright light before midnight that experts say were
meteor fragments streaking across the night sky. People as far away as
Ohio reported seeing the light. Reports of small meteorites actually
making their way to the ground have come in from Park Forest and
Olympia Fields.

"Lit up the whole room. Sounded like a plane crashed or lightning going
off. It was bad," said Chris Kasco, house hit by meteorite.

A Harper College astronomy professor is collecting meteor fragments
that punctured the roof of the Park Forest Fire Department. He's like a
kid in a candy store.

"This is the biggest thing to hit Illinois in a heck of a long time, to be
funny about it," said Paul Sipiera, geology professor. "It's been more
than 60 years since Illinois has been hit by meteorites that were
witnessed as they fell to the ground."

The old story is we're getting hit every day by hundreds and hundreds of
tons of meteorite, but this is only the ninth meteorite ever recovered from
Illinois.

The experts say this meteor likely originated in the Asteroid Belt, nearly
300 million miles away. By the way, the man who had the meteorite
smash into his house was in good spirits. He called his boss at work to
say he wouldn't be coming in and told him why. His boss said, well,
never heard that excuse before.

Vuorokautta ennen kirjoitusaikaasi rymähti isohko meteoriitti lukuisina kappaleina Intiassa Orissan maakunnassa maahan ja särki taloja ja vahingoitti ihmisiä.

Ihmisten loukkaantuminen suoranaisesti meteoriitin kappaleista on aivan ennenkuulumatonta. Kuolemantapauksista ei tiedetä, kuin yksi koira Egyptissä 1800-luvulla ja porotokka Tunguskassa. (Tunguskan paineaalto kaatoi kyllä ihmisiäkin)

Taloja, autoja ja tietokoneen printteri on vaurioitunut meteoriittikolhuissa.
