Something mind-blowing happened in France. A meteorite fell on the woman who was sitting in a cafe and drinking coffee. The woman, whose name has not been released, may have been the first lucky survivor of such an event.
The woman, who experienced the event with a probability of one in a million, tried to understand what was happening in astonishment. In an interview she gave, she said she felt a shock wave in her ribs.
You are more likely to win a big lottery twice than a meteorite will hit you!
According to NASA data, roughly 48 tons of meteorites land on Earth every day. Most of them fall into uninhabited areas. This incident in France had a great impact on everyone. “I heard a big ‘boom’ sound from the roof next to us. Then I felt a shock wave in my ribs. I was suspicious of animals, especially bats,” the woman interviewed said.
The meteorite was examined
Geologist Thierry Rebmann, as a result of his investigations, determined that the meteorite that hit the woman was a mixture of iron and silicon. This confirms that the object could be a ‘real’ meteorite. Explaining that “it is very difficult to find meteorites in temperate climates,” the geologist said that the reason was their combination with other elements.
There are very few records of a person being hit by a meteorite. What happened to the unfortunate woman is even less likely than the normal chance of getting heads 44 in a row.
