A geologist from Novosibirsk has set up a new hypothesis of the explosion in Podkamennaya Tunguska, which took place on June 30, 1908. It was not a meteorite that caused such extensive destructions and conflagration, but a fluid jet, which had shot up under high pressure from the interior of the Earth.
The event which occurred almost a hundred years ago in Podkamennaya Tunguska has drawn scientists' attention again.
What actually exploded at that time in the remote taiga, the power of explosion being equal to the 50-megaton H-bomb?
