Remarkably, in the city of 1.2 million people, no one was hurt by the events that occurred near the international airport. Only, it left a crater measuring 12 meters and felt across the capital on Saturday night.
"We believe this is a meteorite We have seen the crater," said Wilfredo Strauss of the Seismic Institute.
The meteorite slid into a wooded area near the airport at about midnight and the blow was so great that it was recorded on instruments used by Strauss's agency to measure the strength of the earthquake. "You can see two waves: the first small seismic waves when the meteorite hit the earth and then another stronger one, which is the effect of the sound," he said.
