Scores sick after meteor strike - World - smh.com.au: "LIMA: Hundreds of villagers have fallen ill from mysterious gases that spewed from a crater after a meteorite landed in south-eastern Peru, but no radiation has been detected, officials say. Scores of residents of the farming village of Carancas began vomiting and complaining of headaches and dizziness after the meteor struck the area on Saturday, creating a crater eight metres deep and 20 metres wide. The BBC reported that 600 people required treatment after the object fell from space and that one of Peru's leading geologists, Honorio Campoblanco, had called on the authorities to stop people going near the crash site."
