Concerning the article about theTunguska Explosion, Cecil failed to mention the theory that this explosion resulted from Nikola Tesla’s experiment with his particle beam tower. That’s a shame-I saw the article and got all excited, hopin I’d see a Tesla reference, yet I was let down. Oh well.
There’s some discussion of it here, if you’re interested.
