Morning all,

I have been watching the TV series "Secrets In The Ice" and yesterday the episode had to interesting topics that I think has some bearing on the topic. Also my apologies on lack of detail

The first was about the Titanic and detection of the iceberg that she hit. Apparently the atmospheric conditions were just right to mask how close the iceberg really was.

The other bit in the episode was about two asteroid strikes that occurred in Russia. The most recent one that happened a few years ago and the one that happened in the early 1900s. The one in the 1900s was interesting in that the show suggests that the main body of the asteroid was deflected back into space.
