A tour bus operator narrated,
"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 hole 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!"
