“Chances of being struck by a meteorite are around one in 100 million.”

Wouldn’t those odds mean three people in the US would be hit? The only people on earth I know about are this kid and the Alabama lady 55 years ago.

“Chances of being struck by a meteorite are around one in 100 million.”

Another article from the UK London Telegraph reports it as "one in a million" that he "survived" the meteor strike. So combining these "statistics" fewer people get hit than survive the strike by a hundred to one. I think these guys are pulling these statistics out of their noses.
