About this episode
One hundred and fourteen years ago, hundreds of reindeer and a few dozen humans witnessed a massive explosion in Siberia, near the Stony Tunguska River. At the epicenter, there was little evidence of the blast's origin except for flattening 500,000 acres of uninhabited forest, scorching the land, and creating “glowing clouds” and shock waves that were detected around the world.
