Since i love those things about space, meteors and planets, then i'm also gonna post this.
You can see more information about this here: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/02/15/breaking_huge_meteor_explodes_over_russia.html
To me that looks kinda scary when it comes towards you in some of the movies. But damn, it looks cool to 
Wonder how much damage a meteor like that would have made to that city if it had come through as a whole meteor.

Not really required by law, but insurance fraud and police corruption is so widespread that you are far better off with some video evidence, as in: you are screwed if you don-¦t have it. So everyone in russia is recording video evidence.

Eve is real? 
Well there are some amazing videos on this event. They are lucky it was not another Tunguska level event, I can't imagine the destruction that would have caused.

A meteor, nearly impacked a freaking Nuclear power plant?
Holy **** on a **** and ***** sandwich.
If ever there was a good reason to start funding a Meteor defence system, or at least quadruple the current observation operations : this was it.

It's really just wild.
What's frightening though is if this had occurred 30 years ago during the Cold War, we would all probably be annihilated right now.

I uploaded this video clip from the 'Armageddon' movie to YouTube that could indicate what kind of destruction such a meteor would do if the whole meteor would hit the ground.
Now i'm not sure if the meteor in this video clip is bigger than the meteor in Russia.

What gives a hint on the magnitude of the explosion is the time that passes between the meteorite coming down and the shock wave hitting. In some videos it was several minutes. So despite the explosion happening some dozens kilometers away, it still is powerful enough to shatter windows.
Compared to what mother nature can unload on us, mankind's nuclear arsenal is firecrackers.

Not required, but you can get a better deal on insurance.
And on the general topic. in 2.5 hours the 2012 D14 will flyby next to Earth at the distance 12 times less than distance from Earth to Moon. And that nice piece of rock is 44 meters and 130 000 tons moving at 31 km/s (think inty is fast? :) )
EDIT: The meteorite from OP exploded like 50km from surface and there's no evidence so far that any bits touched the ground.
Russian army went code "Fortress" meaning full military standby with AA defense fold out.

reports say it was a 1m wide rock (probs carbonaceous, those are usually more air-burstable). only injured people till now, about over 1000 and some minor-to-average property damage. there are some areas that report that certain fragments made touchdown, so expect scientists to come up with some findings in the next days/weeks. as comparison, if tunguska was a meteorite gone airburst, this one would be the same, minus the explosive strength of course.
basically, just a shooting star that managed to go deeper.

Wasn't it said somewhere that the meteor did weight about 10 tons, or is that another meteor someone are talking about then?

Personally I think the main Asteroid flyby had captured and dragged the smaller Russian meteor along on it's path. The timing of both is just way too close.
Probably better information later on.

i think the rock was 50m wide, and sources put it at 12km/s. This is the one that will miss us.
the one that hit, i think was more like 10m across.
what i find incredulous is that the BBC reported that the "window shattering" blast radius was 200km (125m). That is HUGE.
from what i read about the one buzzing us, it would be a "city killer" but probably not take out humanity.

already speculation says this, but scientists have come out and said no. They are travelling from different directions. Just a cosmically cosmic coincidence. |
