[meteorite-list] Terrible Meteorite Joke

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

You were warned....

An airliner was flying over Arizona on a clear day, and the copilot
was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks
over the PA system.

"Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a
major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a
lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing
300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40, 000 miles an hour,
scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The crater
measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep."

>From the cabin, a passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow! It just missed
the highway!"
