German teenager hit by 30,000 MPH Meteorite and lives!  Now some people claim that being hit by lightning is unlucky and rare, this is a whole new category.  Gerrit Blank was hit by a pea size meteorite which was traveling at 30,000 MPH.  The meteorite hit his hand and then smashed into the ground with enough force to create a loud noise and a flash of light which knocked Gerrit off his feet.  Luckily for him, he escapes with a slight cut on his hand.  Crazy!
