A huge crater somewhere in the desert with fire flames everywhere. It's jaw dropping... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cT8vZ-7vxQ http://www.youtube.com/watch

I just found this by using the "last hour" filter mmastrac suggested.
EDIT: It doesn't seem to be a crater caused by a meteorite. By looking at the youtube video "cfn" (comment below) looks like it's a gas explosion in 2007. Still, amazing.

- soci 14y agoLooks you are right. Still amazing though. I'm going to edit the comment. Thank you.
- obituary_latte 14y agoWow. Hard to get a sense of scale, but it looks pretty big. Maybe a few hundre feet in diameter? Also, how much heat is needed to set friggin _dirt_ on fire?
- jace 14y agoThat's natural gas seeping out of the ground.

- lutorm 14y agoYeah, an impact crater wouldn't look like that. It would look like one of the craters on the moon with large amounts of ejecta thrown out radially around it.
