Sandbox / The Tunguska Event Wick Check

Here a wick check will be performed for The Tunguska Event.

Why?: The Tunguska Event is written like a Useful Notes page, yet has examples. The on-page ones are largely "the Tunguska Event appeared in/inspired this work", so this wick check will determine if it should be moved to Useful Notes like a previous TRS thread had suggested.

Wicks checked: 20/50

Other use (2/50)

1. YMMV.Armageddon 1998: In the beginning of the movie, Truman mentions that NASA does not have the power to detect all incoming objects. On February 15, 2013, a previously undetected asteroid 20 meters in diameter and weighing over 10,000 tonnes exploded above Russia in the largest airburst since The Tunguska Event of 1908. Furthermore, videos of the airburst looked very similar to scenes of meteors falling in this movie. Reference to the Tunguska Event that does not appear in the work.
2. Characters.The Other Side Of The Spectrum Equus Prime Angst Nuke: Try Angst Tunguska – when Celestia absorbs Marcus's memories, she's so horrified by what she sees that she flies to "Ponguska, Sibearia" and, following a rage-filled "Reason You Suck" Speech to her evil opposite, creates an explosion that results in a massive crater. Pothole seems to be a Tunguska-related joke. Not in the work.

ZCEs and unclear (1/50)

1. Atomic Robo ascribes to the "Tesla did it" school of thought, naturally - specifically, he used Wardenclyffe Tower to "pinch" reality in order to stop an Eldritch Abomination from manifesting. It only slowed it down. Unclear. Is the "reality pinch" depicted as being the Tunguska Event? Not enough context.
