    Does anyone know if any further investigation has ever came of this?

    up for a little back-packing holiday? - kidding)

    I apparently missed this story the first time around, but stumbled on it
    today while looking up that other Siberian event -Tunguska. It occurred to
    me that NEO's represent rock-solid arguments against the luddite fantasy of
    peace and naturalistic atonement by returning to some idyllic,
    pre-scientific era, even if such a thing were possible without killing off
    most of the world's population. Perhaps instead of just touting the benefits
    of technology, and arguing the implausibility of turning back, we might also
    attack the proposed long-term sustainability of the alternative?
