Why is everyone so "hard on" Wikipedia?
- I agree, you need to check, what you read.
- Also, don't accept anything as legit, if not verified.
- Or seems "incredulous!"
- However, there are Editors at WIK, and it was built over multiple years of effort.
- Plus, like any Academic resource, references and "simply checking" other places of information, will either support or "quickly disprove." What any one claims.
The comment at the end of this article on 100th Anniversary of the Tunguska Blast, shows what I mean.
The force of the explosion leveled every tree for 30 miles around and knocked people who were miles away off their feet or out of their chairs. One man described how he was knocked across the room in his house and his shirt was so hot that he thought it was on fire. And he was 40 miles away. The light given off from the blast was seen thousands of miles away in London where it was still nighttime. For several weeks afterward, there was so much dust in the atmosphere refracting the sunlight over Asia and all of Europe that the nighttime was so light that people could read outside.

PS. I don't believe anyone is "doubting" there was a blast, at Tunguska in 1908. The controversy is all about - what occurred?
