Meteorite hits Russian Urals: Fireball explosion wreaks havoc, over 900 injured (PHOTOS, VIDEO) — RT

Around 950 people have sought medical attention in Chelyabinsk alone because of the disaster,

3,000 buildings were damaged to varying extents by the meteor shower in the city, including 34 medical facilities and 361 schools and kindergartens. The total amount of window glass shattered amounts to 100,000 square meters

Buildings were left without gas because facilities in the city had also been damaged, an Emergency Ministry spokesperson said, according to Russia 24 news channel.

The Emergency Ministry reported that 20,000 rescue workers are operating in the region. Three aircraft were deployed to survey the area and locate other possible impact locations.

Thought this shyt didn't have a chance at hitting Earth, last I read anyway.

That 2nd video though. Wonder what was going through dude's mind. :whew:

I love how almost everyone over there has dash cams (as seen by the 'crazy Russian drivers' videos) they were all probably trying to get purposely hit by it for an insurance claims :heh:

This is just a small meteorite, the one that is supposed to pass us is a good size -

That would probably take out part of a small city, the one in Russia wasn't very big.

Russian space agency Roskosmos has confirmed the object that crashed in the Chelyabinsk region is a meteorite:
“According to preliminary estimates, this space object is of non-technogenic origin and qualifies as a meteorite. It was moving at a low trajectory with a speed of about 30 km/s.”
According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers, local newspaper Znak reported quoting a source in the military.
Can air defenses really defend against an object moving at 30 km/s? :unsure::leostare:
