Could this be for real? An Indian man is claimed to be dead by meteorite!
Quote from the source:
“Indian officials say a meteorite struck the campus of a private engineering college on Saturday, killing one person. If scientists confirm the explosion was due to a meteorite, it would be the first recorded human fatality due to a falling space rock.
According to local reports, a bus driver was killed on Saturday when a meteorite landed in the area where he was walking, damaging the window panes of nearby buses and buildings. Three other people were injured.”
I thought I had terrible luck… This story still lacks a solid confirmation, but is oddly compelling none the less.
One human down, and 7 billion more to go! Go meteors go!

Surely half of those 7 billion might be reasonable folks that just want to get along. If we could just make meteorites that were highly attracted to republican bullshit…

Years ago, an Australian band driving from Melbourne to Perth claim a meteorite hit their car.

I thought you were more inclined to toss lightning bolts around?
When I was a kid, maybe 11 or 12, I was walking with a friend one night. I picked up a stone and said “watch me nail this street light.” I threw the rock never expecting to actually hit it, but smack, dead center, light busted.
…this was before my “hey hold my beer” days.

For the life of me I can’t remember their name. Not a big band, but not entirely unknown. Seems though an Indian man was killed by one

Looking like a strong possibility this happened then.
I love the part in the story where it mentions a larger asteroid would break up into many pieces, and most land in the ocean. Tell that to the bus driver in India.

My theory about that missing Malaysian Airlines flight is a meteorite took out the flight cabin, but most of the electronics could still work, hence the long, long flight to oblivion.

That ain’t a half bad theory. Plausible.

Right now it’s as good a theory as any of them.

I wonder if just before the meteor strike he uttered or thought something like “If I am wrong, let the Lord (Shiva, whoever) strike me down …” Now that would have been a coincidence.
American Evangelicals will probably claim that he was struck down for his false beliefs.
