The main results are related to the creation of a complex model for the flight, stress-strain state and fracture of a meteoroid and the determination of the action of the shock waves system and radiation on the Earth's surface during the Tunguska cosmic (celestial) body event. The body's motion is accompanied by its strong deformations, ablation, radiation and fracture. The whole complex model of the flight and blast of TCB now includes several units. Numerical modelling of the body's flight, a stress-strain state inside the body, the time and place of the body fracture and the parameters of the crushed volume, an explosion-like expansion during the final stage of the flight as well as calculation of the action of the shock waves system and the radiation on the Earth surface are mainly considered. A comparison of the results with data observed is also presented and conjectures concerning a plausible nature of TCB are made.
