This Day in the History of Unexplained Explosions

On this day in in 1908, something caused a big explosion in central Russia over the Tunguska River 500 miles north northwest of Lake Baikal. Part of the reason we don't know what caused the explosion is that a scientific expedition didn't reach the site until 1927. They didn't find a crater (although recently some scientists have suggested Lake Cheko is the missing crater) or much of anything else except millions of trees laid down in a pattern suggesting an airburst. Kinda strange.

The Space Brothers had some catastrophic mechanical problem. Maybe the anti-mateer shields lost containment.
 
In the realm of possibilities, that one is low, but not non-existant.
