At the time of Tunguska, something also increased the levels of Ammonia and Ammonium Nitrate in the atmosphere to significant levels as shown in ice cores. http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0907/0907.1067.pdf
My bet is that the Tunguska "meteorite" had a LENR/vacuum energy core and was actually a BRANE per M Theory, just like a comet. They ionize the air in their surroundings. If rocks can generate 10-15 megatons (up to 1000 times Hiroshima) in the atmosphere without hitting anything why do we need nuclear weapons?
