I've had two meteor deaths happen on my games before; one was for a regular playing file, and the meteor came at my equestrian sim who couldn't get out of the way in time cause she took forever to get off the horse. Second time was during my first attempt at the immortal dynasty challenge, and my two teen sons got hit by the meteor when they were at school (and inside the building). They couldn't get out in time, and died.
Ahhh, such a terrible experience.
