  1. Indeed that is Barringer Crater, more famously known as Meteor Crater, just off I-40 in Arizona.

    Which I suppose to a Canadian intern might as well be on another planet.

    And they say we Americans are untraveled…

  2. Talk about incompetent. There are no craters on the Moon with a >buildingroad< in the same photo!

    Layers of fact-checkers? Apparently not for the photos…

    1. A *building* and a *road*.

      I think the escaping mechanism on the comments needs a few more test cases.

    1. Fortunately nobody was home at the time! However, when grilling burgers and hot dogs out on the patio, it is advisable to wear a hard hat.

      1. I may be old, but I don’t remember this event. But I have been there. The visitor’s center mentions other strikes in NA as well. The big one near Kentland, Indiana no one remembers either. Water and erosion have done a number on that crater.

        1. I think you’re thinking of me. A long, long time ago I related in these comments a story of a Southwest Airline flight I was taking for business, whose captain had the best cockpit joke I ever heard. He came on the P.A. and said “Those of you on the right side of the plane can see Meteor Crater, where 40,000 years ago a giant meteor smashed into the Earth. And look, it just missed that house!”

          1. Thanks!

            Thanks for checking in with us in “The Rand Gang” and hoping you are OK.

          1. Having been to the Tyco Crater Visitor’s Center, should I apply to the CSA for my astronaut wings with moon mission patch? (I *knew* I should’ve keep my admission ticket receipt!)
