[meteorite-list] Tree trimmers

[Michael L Blood]

Hi Graham,
        It was a 3g Mbale which crashed through a banana tree before
striking a kid, making it both a tree trimmer and a hammer. (That
fall also struck village structures). See the blurb on this under 1992
at

        Best wishes, Michael
