SBS tonight 7:30

At 7:17am, 30 June, 1908, the largest explosion recorded in human history to date reverberated throughout our planet. What caused it? An asteroid? A UFO crash? To this day, internationally renowned scientists of various disciplines argue about the causes of this disastrous explosion. This documentary looks at the latest and most controversial insights of these leading scientists.

says 7:30 - 8:30 SBS1 and SBSHD in both the Sydney and Illawarra guides. We often get better reception from Illawarra than Sydney, despite being in the Sydney suburbs.

What a collection of nutcases each with their own barrow to push.

I'll go with the comet and airburst theory

I'm with you on that one Andrew. Interesting show, though not too sure about some of the theorys.


Cheers Daniel.

I rather enjoyed the alien message theory - if aliens wanted to communicate it is obvious they would do it in a destructive manner.
Hi Earthlings, we are up here, oh by the way, bang!

That was quite an enjoyable show, the main theories have quite a bit of merit to them. But the crackpot theories gave me a good chuckle.

I think the airburst theory holds a lot of merit, but I don't think we'll ever really know.

Cheers

My particular favourite theory is the Time traveling atom bomb what were they taking must have been a good high to think up that one

Just saw it as the usual docutainment where popular media tries to meet science in a formularised mish-mash and fails. Totally confused by it and not sure myself if there was any science there at all. If there was, it was given equal status with the nutters. Maybe they were all nutters. A burnt-out astrophysicist talking about vulcanology is a waste of space IMO.

Only bit I enjoyed was the early footage.

Cheers -
