One of the major plot points and running themes in Pynchon’s last book, I’ve developed a bit of a fascination with the Tunguska Incident. “At 7:15am on June 30, 1908, a blue-white fireball flew over the remote region of central Siberia near the Stony Tunguska River and exploded with the force of a 10- to 15- megaton hydrogen bomb. The explosion wiped out approximately 60 million trees across an area of 2,000 square kilometers. Witnesses from hundreds of miles away saw an immense pillar of fire and heard thundering claps. Those closest to the blast were deafened by the noise and knocked off their feet when the thermal wave swept through the area. Miraculously, no one was killed.”
