Note, however, that in 1908 there was something - apparently an asteroid - that hit Earth (in Siberia), causing a damage equivalent to several atomic bombs.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
