14-year-old hit by 30,000 mph space meteorite

A schoolboy has survived a direct hit by a meteorite after it fell to earth at 30,000mph.




"When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still going fast enough to bury itself into the road," he explained."

This story gets printed off and added to my "odd things in the news" collection. Right beside the article for the glow in the dark monkeys.

I'm still in awe! To think it still went into the ground after hitting him on the head!

<(DAMN!)


I'm just going to be extremely upset if he doesn't get to keep it if he wants and name it too. Then again maybe he would be safer not having it with him. Someone might try to steal it from him, which would be so horrible.

When I was little I always thought it would be so cool to find a meteorite, but then there were all theses flash backs from all thoses Sci-Fi Horror movies where it wouldn't be a meteorite at all, but an ALIEN such as the Blob or even a KILLER POTATO among so many others. Only now thinking back, they really should have made one where the meteorite made you...

I am extremely surprised that did not take his hand off!
