Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village
LIMA (AFP) - Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.
Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.
Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a "strange odor," local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.
Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.
Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.
"Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned," he said.
....You have to admit, this is something that you would find from a sci-fi movie. o.o
Awesome. XD
So that's how Resident Evil 5 starts.
Better get Chris Redfield on the blowhorn. He's the only one badass enough to prove Leon is a losercop (like Matt Parkman >>) and wipe out a small portion of the zombified African population.
Grab the shotguns and chainsaws while you still can.
Who needs them? Time to smack zombies in the face with FISTS alone.
GO CHRIS GO!
Are we all in this together? =D
I'm not going anywhere. If they manage to make it all the way to my house, well.. I live in Texas. They step on my lawn and I'm legally allowed to shoot thier heads off.
It's true.
