" There has been a reported death case from a meteorite strike in India. But NASA has yet to confirm whether the culprit was a meteoritei claiming that the odds of it being caused by a land-based explosion are higher. If NASA scientists do confirm that a meteorite - not space junk or other space debris - led to the incident, this would be the first scientifically proven meteorite fatality. There have been reports of injuries before, but even those were very rare since space rocks usually burn up when passing through the atmosphere or land in the ocean or hit remote areas. Hence, astronomers put the lifetime odds of dying from a meteoritei asteroid or comet impact at 1 in 1,600,000 compared with 1 in 90 for a car accident and 1 in 135,000 for a lightning strike. It is true that 65 million years ago, a meteorite wiped out millions of organisms, even whole species but they were all killed from the aftereffects like heat, radiation and dust."
