One interesting detail I found, I think, on Wikipedia, is that if the meteor had hit about four hours later, due to Earth&#x27;s rotation, it would have roughly hit Saint Petersburg.<p>If such events happen so frequently, we&#x27;re pretty lucky so far. Given that much of Earth is covered in water, I could imagine a lot of these simply hit the ocean, but I don&#x27;t know what would happen if it hit close to the coast.
