Meteorite exploads in Russian skys. crazy/kool (Vids inside)

Pretty crazy stuff.

Great Dash Cam Video of it exploding.

Video someone shot after it exploded in the sky, then caught the shock-wave. Pretty intense!!! (showing damage after)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0nWbW7-Rv4

so far 500+ Injuries (not really sure from what) and lots of broken windows from the shockwave.

article from a few days ago said it was suppose to miss us by 17k Miles

Good thing this didn't happen in America. People would be going insane, and loosing their minds.

Injuries are probably from what you just stated, broken glass/windows.

That is pretty awesome.

I read a few days ago that a meteor was going to pass us that could be worth $190 billion, was this it?

I don't think that was THE asteroid you're referring to as it's MUCH larger and supposed to happen around 2pm EST.

There is no way they couldn't pick this up. It being over Russia and not letting them know could be a different story tho :P

It could have been much much worse IMO if it wouldn't have exploaded while still in the sky.

The one that is supposed to pass by the earth passed at like 230 ET today and is like 3 or 4 times as big as that one that hit Russia.

It was only 10-15 meters wide, so not big. And meteors and asteroids are constantly hitting the earth and just burn up in the atmosphere. Even had it crash landed, wouldn't have been that big of impact. As you saw on the videos, most of the damage was busted glass from an object going 7+ km/s exploding and sending out a shockwave. Not unlike a jet that hits super sonic being able to break glass.

Depends on where it would've landed. Exploding in the air probably caused more damage vs hitting the ground. If it hits the ground, most of the force is distributed throughout the ground. Exploding in the air means that you have a massive shockwave of air (which obviously is compressable and fairly easy to move) on top of shrapnel damage from small pieces of it spraying about. Unless it would've hit inside of a city or town, odds are it actually caused more damage exploding.

This guy is insinuating the "science guy" knew about the other one. BTW this CNN interview is the one where the anchor asked if global warming had anything to do with the asteroid. :lol:

I've been reading up about the one asteroid that was going to miss us but when I heard about the one in Russia I started thinking WTF shit's hitting the fan.
