Peru meteorite crash 'causes mystery illness'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/space/article/0,,2171920,00.html
A meteorite has struck a remote part of Peru and carved a large
crater that is emitting noxious odours and making villagers ill,
according to local press reports.
At least 12 people were treated in addition to seven police
officers who required oxygen masks and rehydration.
A fireball streaked across the Andean sky late on Saturday night
and crashed into a field near Carancas, a sparsely populated
highland wilderness near Lake Titicaca on the border with Bolivia,
witnesses said.
Uh oh. More photos here. "Causó alarma en los pobladores." I can
imagine.
Scientists investigating.
Jorge López Tejada, a representative of the Regional Health
Directorate, reports:
"Between 10 and 12 people have reported dizziness, migraines and in
some cases vomiting. They assure that after having had close
contact with the object the symptoms began," stated Tejada.
Furthermore, Tejada stated that check ups would be performed and
that it had not been discarded that the symptoms could be related
to the glowing object which fell from the sky.
"They are healthy people, it could be (due to) radiation, we don't
know, we are assuming, it's worth investigating. Things will be
clearer tomorrow," stated Tejada.

Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a
"strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told
Peruvian radio RPP.
Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill
and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.
Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the
meteorite left a 30-metre-wide and six-metre-deep crater, said
local official Marco Limache.
"Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of
rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned,"
he said.
"Residents are very concerned." Typical Peruvian understatement, no
doubt.

Scores killed in Peru Earthquake
A powerful 7.9 magnitude earthquake has hit the coast of Peru,
killing at least 337 people and injuring hundreds more, Peru's
civil defence institute says.
Berenice, another resident, said the earthquake was the strongest
she had ever felt.
"For some it seemed like the end of the world, and most people I
know are still nervous," she said.
