Tunguska's blast was due to a comet impact
Tunguska's blast was most probably due to a comet impact. Here, the following points may be important:
• The comet is a fireball, not as do they say a mass of dirt and snow.
• It has an affinity to fall on the frozen and ice regions like Siberia, the north and south polar regions.
• The comet, contrary to the meteorite, will dig through the ground to disappear inside the earth, while the meteorite will stay upon the surface of the earth.
• It will cause much heat, burns and destruction because it is flaming, more than the friction of the meteorite with the air that will cause the meteorite to be hot, but not to the extent of the flaming comet.

Where the following is mentioned:
“ The Day when the Comet struck the Earth Surface
"… In the morning of June 30, 1908, at 7 am, while the farmer Semenov was sitting in the balcony of his house, in the northern parts of middle Siberia; he suddenly saw in the north a flaming object with somewhat bluish coloration, larger than the sun disc, traversing the space, to fall in the planes of Siberia, between two rivers there, where a pillar of light came down.
In spite of that this light was about fifty miles away from his house, the heat was so extensive to let the farmer Semenov feel his clothes about to burn…. In the site of that strange light, a shepherd called Lukhtikan was driving to the pasture a herd of 1500 deers, and Lukhtikan’s herd was stricken just before Semenov was stricken too by the same hot air; so that all the herd perished and nothing of it was found except few burnt bodies….
Four hundred miles away, the men working in the Siberia Railways saw suddenly a glowing in the northern-east, then the train started to shake vigorously; therefore, they stopped it to avoid its deviation from the line….
Years passed by, and the event was nearly forgotten; but at 1927, Professor L. Kulik [a famous Russian Astronomer), leading an expedition, went to that remote district where the light pillar had risen in the air, where he found a depression, not very deep, extending over an area of two miles. …
[It may be this Depression is now the same lake (:Lake Cheko :

) that an Italian expedition led by marine geologist Luca Gasperini have explored.]
Mankind were very lucky on that day of the year 1908; for if the comet had fallen on New York or Paris instead of falling on an uninhabited area, then that could have been one of the great disasters in the history.
Undoubtedly, that event was caused by a comet; for on the 30th. of June 1908, the Earth globe was near to the orbit of another comet. It seems that the big comet that had fallen on Siberia was part of it."
And see, in this contest, the following subject in the SkyandTelescope.com:
"Next summer marks the centennial anniversary of one of Earth's most famous "close encounters" with an extraterrestrial object. On June 30, 1908, something big exploded in the sky over a remote section of Siberia near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. The blast leveled about 800 square miles of forested taiga."
