Boy Gets hit by 30,000 mph meteorite!
Gerrit Blank, 14, was on his way to school when he saw “ball of light” heading straight towards him from the sky.
A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.
The teenager survived the strike, the chances of which are just 1 in a million - but with a nasty three-inch long scar on his hand.
He said: “At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand.
“Then a split second after that there was an enormous bang like a crash of thunder.”
“The noise that came after the flash of light was so loud that my ears were ringing for hours afterwards.
“When it hit me it knocked me flying and then was still going fast enough to bury itself into the road,” he explained.
I would never have that kind of luck. Way to go, kid.
That was here practically around the courner…It could have been me!
I wouldn’t call him lucky, though….you know how unlikely it is to be (nearly) hit by a meteor. I think there is only one other case that happened.
WTF?
BS story written all over it
If that doesn’t get him laid I don’t know what will….
What?!
How does a meteiorite bounce off ones hand and make a crater next to you…
he has super powers
