1908: An object explodes in the Siberian taiga with the force of 1000 Hiroshima bombs - and we still don't know what really happened?
For centuries people have held the theory that an object from the sky triggered the gigantic taiga explosion to be the only serious explanation. Nevertheless, since dozens of investigation teams have been unable to find a crater or even clearly definable metal or stone from space, other theories have begun to gain more strength, especially those having to do in some form or other with gas explosions. The leading head of this "fraction" is the German astro-physicist Prof. Wolfgang Kundt from the University of Bonn. Prof. Kundt wants to go on a second expidition to the Siberian taiga on the occasion of the explosion's centenial. But Kundt's colleagues in Russia, the UK, Italy and the USA are intensifying their investigations before the questionable centenial as well.
For the television channel 3Sat we will accompany the authoritative scientists on their passioante search to explain the myth of TUNGUSKA.
