Norway Is Under Attack
From meteorites. Apparently one ripped into the northern part of the country yesterday with an explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb.
As Wednesday morning dawned, northern Norway was hit with an impact comparable to the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima.Hopefully it was an uninhabited region and no one was seriously injured. The blast lacked the radioactivity found with a nuclear strike, but obviously bouncing rocks off the earth's surface with that much explosive force would decimate a huge region.At around 2:05 a.m. on Wednesday, residents of the northern part of Troms and the western areas of Finnmark could clearly see a ball of fire taking several seconds to travel across the sky.
A few minutes later an impact could be heard and geophysics and seismology research foundation NORSAR registered a powerful sound and seismic disturbances at 02:13.25 a.m. at their station in Karasjok.
