Looks like a small meteoroid decided to spoil 2012 DA14's big day by exploding over Russia...

Clearly a major event. I hope that the reported injuries are mild, and that there are no fatalites.
Caution all to be objective (as all have been thus far) and most of all respectful since there does seem to be a possibility of direct effects on people here, okay? All that being said: There is no amount of 'wow' I can adequately express. Looking forward to the final analysis of this. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Direct hit on factory? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgZ0aA7RUhE
Crews clearing rubble like just another day at work. i know that statistically Russia is the most likely country to get hit since it's got the greatest surface area, but literally a half day before this other rock is a real coincidence. |

Russia is the most likely country to get hit since it's got the greatest surface area, but literally a half day before this other rock is a real coincidence. And that's in fact what it is precisely. Preliminary reports indicate that the object entered from a completely different azimuth than what would be possible for something associated with that asteroid during the upcoming encounter. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

An hour ago, Italian television told about russain military attempt to intercept/destroy the meteorite in flight, through a non-armed missile... I am very skeptical, did someone heared such a story? They showed also an impressive video with a ground explotion near an highway (metoerite fragment hitting ground?)
