Re: [math-fun] Size of the Cherbakul Lake Meteorite Fragment

Joerg Arndt:

I note the (apparent) lack of ice fragments swimming inside the hole and speculate that either the ice in question was immediately rendered into less than even small fragments, or fragments (where not "atomized" and) got thrown out.

In the last hour I heard meteorologist Chad Myers of/on CNN pass on (as though he believed it was true) the initially/occasionally expressed notion that this was an ice-fishing hole. I had to smile.
