from Amazing Stories,
Every day thousands of meteorites bombard the earth. Most of them are tiny and harmless, but some have been huge. Meteor Crater, in Arizona, was caused by one of these. Another devestated an enormous region in Siberia. The Carolina craters are the remains of an ancient meteorite fall. What if such a meteorite, or meteorite swarm, was to fall in the vicinity of a large city? What if one fell into the ocean off New York? The catastrophe that would result would be one of the most terrible in history . . .
