What happened on the Bureya River in the Khabarovsk Territory? There is no clear answer at this point. It is believed that the cause of what happened was the fall of a meteorite, as very large-scale destruction took place here. Scientists insist on the version of a huge landslide and report the discovery of a "thermal anomaly" detected by satellites. But what is the reason for this mysterious "thermal anomaly"?
Everything happened in the area of the Chekunda village of the Verkhnebureinsky District of the Khabarovsk Territory, where, as a result of unknown processes, a huge hill was almost completely destroyed, which slid down and completely blocked the river bed. According to scientists, the landslide hit the river, causing a tsunami over 100 meters in height, which led to huge destruction in the area.
What kind of thermal - thermal anomaly is this and how and for what reasons it arose - there are no answers to these questions.
The Bureyskaya hydroelectric power station may experience a lack of water, its representatives say that the river bed must be unblocked, but the region is deaf, how to do it and where to get huge funds for this work is the question.
The river bed is closed and the water will look for a new path, which will lead to flooding of a large area.
So what was it - a landslide? But then what is the reason for it, what provoked the descent of such a giant mass of soil? What is this heat anomaly and for what reasons did it arise? Maybe the version with a meteorite explains what happened better?
