Default Do the Russkies think they can get that thing out of the lake?

RichA:
They showed on the news a frozen lake with a circular hole in it. It
was taped-off so I presume that was the real entry-point of the
meteorite fragment. I'm wondering how deep it is and whether they'll
be able to locate it?


Chris L Peterson:
Nothing has been found. I think there are probably better explanations
for the hole than a meteorite fragment.


A breathing hole for the Loch Cherbakul Monster? An ice-fishing hole
for Pavel Bunyanovich?

The Huffington Post UK reported this morning that divers have found [a
piece of] the meteorite at a depth of 10 meters in Lake Cherbakul. The
article also reports that soldiers found a six-meter fragment of the
meteorite on the lake's shore. I have seen no independent confirmation
of these reports.
