Pictures of the day june 12, 2009 Speed drinking, a meteorite, blind table tennis and Host in the Post. A stunned schoolboy is thanking his lucky stars after surviving a direct hit by a meteorite as it hurtled to Earth at more than 30,000 mph. Gerrit Blank, 14, was rushing to school when he saw a massive fireball heading straight towards him from the sky. "At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand. A split second after that there was an enormous bang like a crash of thunder," said Gerrit. The white-hot meteorite hit the ground so hard it left a foot wide crater in the tarmac and a three-inch long scar on Gerrit's hand where it bounced off him. Scientists are now studying the pea-sized meteorite which crashed to Earth in Essen, Germany. Chemical tests on the rock have proved it came from outer space. Revellers in Beijing take part in a speed drinking contest. The competition lasts 18 days, with the competitor who can down beer the quickest crowned champion.
