Will you believe if I tell you that - a 14 year old kid survived after getting hit by a meteorite which was coming to the Earth at a speed of 30,000 mph? The chances of his survival was one in a million. Still, he survived. That kid is really lucky and this would be one of the greatest moments in his life. This would be something that he won’t ever forget in his entire life. Gerrit Blank is the 14 year old kid from Germany got hit by the meteorite. The incident occurred while he was going to school. The boy is not scared and he reported things in a brave manner.
The boy explains that - it was coming towards him in the form of light - actually he couldn’t make out that it was a pea sized rock from outer space ! He didn’t knew that it was a meteorite - He only knew that it was traveling towards him - and there wasn’t much time with him to think about it. Soon after that, he felt some kind of pain in his hand. He added that - there was bang just like the crush of thunder, within a second after it hit his hand. And there was a big noise as well. It was ringing in his ears even after hours!! Just think how loud would that have been! And he is just a 14 year old kid - he is really a fortunate kid. And by this time, the 14 year old from Germany would have become famous.
Something like this happened in 1954. And that incident occurred in the United States. A woman was sleeping and a meteorite somehow got inside her house and after hitting on the furniture in the house, it landed on top of the lady who was sleeping. But Garret’s case is a bit different since it knocked his hand directly without getting reflected from anywhere.
