This article states that the Tungusta Event "was detected by satellites and seismographic stations"
Satellites in 1908? I don't think so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.212.50.154 (talk) 16:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't state that. It says that this 2002 object exploded in a way similar to that in the Tunguska event, and separately that this 2002 event was detected by satellites. Although the two statements are included within the same overall sentence structure, it would not ordinarily be construed to mean that the similarity included the means of detection.40.0.96.1 14:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't see any justification for the claim, "Had it burst on a populated area, the consequences would have been catastrophic". According to Worden, who is cited as a primary source for this article, "Had you been situated on a vessel directly underneath the intensely bright flash would have been followed by a shock wave that would have rattled the entire ship and possibly caused minor damage."FurtherWestMan (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
