If it exploded, it was probably just conglomerate gravel.
And besides, Jesus puts minerals and oil back in the Earth when
we aren't looking.

You give me a headache. This isn't my century.
FOX News warned us about these Anonymous exploding minivans!!
These ones explode like fast, slow, fast - not like the ones with automatic transmission...
In reality, Dateline NBC producers had rigged the minivan sized asteroid's fuel tank with remotely controlled model rocket engines to initiate the explosion.
Upon further inspection, it seems the staff of Dateline was unaware of how the asteroids trajectory spelled "I love you" in one rare Palledian dialect.
