Lucky bastard. Meteorites are worth thousands a pound.

Oh, and he survived.

Only an idiot would say this story is a lie. Or someone who hasn't read it, but then you'd have to be an idiot to dismiss out of hand something you haven't read, so there you go. Idiots.

no asshole.
i read it & immediately thought, "Gee, if a space rock that left a fucking ONE FOOT CRATER in a road, hit someones hand before it hit the road, there'd be a fucking hole in that person's hand, or no hand."
this could very well be another urban legend.
don't be such a cunt all the time.

Dylboz, once again you are wrong. If that meteor still had enough momentum to leave a crater in the ground, then it would certainly have left a hole in his hand, not simply "bounced off his hand". Simple physics.

Yeah, this lying little german bastard would be severely injured if this event transpired the way he claims. Anyone who can't see that is a total idiot.

I would find it believable that he was hit by something that was thrown up by the meteorite AFTER it struck the ground. However, this story has just enough detail for the whole thing to sound like BS.

If you douchebags had followed it up, you'd see that the kid didn't actually say it "hit him and bounced off." That was the reporter's language. He wasn't exactly sure. He says it hurt and threw him, he most likely just got grazed by it or he was hit buy a pice of debris from the impact. Just being that close to a speeding white hot rock as it plummets to the ground is enough to cause you pain and knock you over. But whatever, if it makes you happy to call a little boy a liar and then use derogatory names referring to his nationality, go for it.

This idiot is unashamed to say he is unpersuaded by a story that says a kid gets hit in the hand with a meteorite that is moving with enough force that it makes a foot wide crate in tarmac after bouncing off his hand. If a pea sized meteorite made a foot wide crater after bouncing off his hand, I doubt he would have much hand left.

The kid has a wound. There is a verified rock from space, and a crater. The kid was there when the rock hit the ground, which no one disputes. It was not a direct hit, as if he was holding his hand out to catch it, and it need not have even made direct contact with him at all to cause him a painful wound or knock him down. Do you know what the kill radius is on a .50 cal machine gun? 12 inches, for a half inch round. The shock wave and heat generated by the speed of the bullet is enough to severely injure or kill a person whom the projectile doesn't actually hit, if it passes close enough to them. The reporter, not the kid, used the phrase "bounced off."
