600 Peruvians sick after 'meteorite' impact

This sounds likes it's straight from the comic books, or a bad Hollywood movie... officials in Peru say that as many as 600 people have sought medical attention after visiting the site of a believed meteorite impact. A fiery ball apparently crashed to the earth near the Bolivian border leaving a crater 30 metres wide and 6 metres deep. "That is why we are asking for an analysis, because we are worried for our people. They are afraid. A bull is dead and some other animals are already sick," said Heber Mamani a local resident. The CBC has more details.
