Not to mention the infrastructure damage(not that i am belittling human damage). It would take years and billions of dollars to repair. Imagine every window in New York blowing out?
The secondary damage would be much worse then primary.
- erickhill 14y ago> Imagine every window in New York blowing out? Something like this actually happened in Ft. Worth back in 2000. It was caused by a tornado. Walking along the sidewalks afterwards was terrifying, as you never knew if a shard of glass might come swooshing down towards your head. They did, however, create several wooden structures like painter's scaffolding that you could walk under for protection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Fort_Worth_tornado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Fort_Worth_tornado It caused half a billion dollars in damage. But you really couldn't have prevented it. Minimized damage, debatable.
- jug6ernaut 14y agoWow! thats amazing/horrifying. Though i would have to imagine a meteor over New York(same strength earlier today) would be much worse, probably even a worse case scenario?(again for same strength). Meteors of this size your probably right, no easy way to prevent them. But i would not say that its impossible.
- etcet 14y agoIf this happened during the winter I imagine many would die of exposure.
- ImprovedSilence 14y agoYup. And it's winter in Russia these days too!
