Person killed by meteorite...

After discussions that we had with Year 9 regarding the risk of being hit by a meteorite this story is sad, and (almost) unbelievable. Remember Professor Spiegelhalter's calculations of micromorts for different events. It will be interesting to see how the story develops as the cause is unconfirmed at the moment, and may end up not being a meteorite at all... which is another reminder of the importance of fact-checking when using web sources.
