That was close. Tunguska was pretty bad, too. Funny how now the two
events have both been in Russia.


I was thinking about this too, my explanation is that Russia has a
large area of territory, so it is more likely that a meteor would hit
Russia, than Luxembourg or Denmark.


Most likely explanation and two events some 105 years apart isn't a very
big statistical sample. Recall the various known meteor craters in other
parts of the world for other samples and the distribution sure looks
random.
