    God bless all those Russian dash cams. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Hopefully nobody was hurt.

    More exciting than I have pictured it all my life. A space capsule leaves a smoky trail above a certain altitude, say 200,000 feet, but descends the rest of the way invisibly, as seen from a distance. That's why after the meteorite's trail ends, a dramatic minute passes before the explosion.

    It's awesome only 700 people hurt. I hear 30 hospitalized.

    Armageddon.

    They say it's not related to the asteroid passing by today.

    That too was my first thought! What are the odds? Can you imagine how terrified people would be if astronomers had gotten that wrong?

    They did get it wrong, they're just not telling us about it.

    Meanwhile, MARIS61 is wearing his tin foil hat and hiding in a cave somewhere today.

    Well, he doesn't necessarily find a cave to hide in every day.

    I have to say, if I was driving along and I saw that thing coming in with the tail of fire, I'd think the world was ending. That thing looked huge.

    I agree, and that really makes me wonder, what would a REAL world ending meteor look like?

    50 feet wide, that's it? Hundreds of kilotons........ it looks like it only took a chunk out of that building though.

    IIUC, that chunk of the building collapsed from the shock wave from the explosion. I saw a pic somewhere of a hole in the ice on a lake, supposedly that's where the biggest piece landed...
