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

Mongo:
I don't know how it's today, but in earlier times (20th century), lots of Soviet windows frames had very low quality. Another thing. Blast wave is a wave. So it interferes and it's possible that some windows damage was caused by a local overpressure event, which can be result of superposition of waves. Because lots of damage on the videos are only local in nature (windows are destructed only in some height over ground), I think that guesses in Mt range are exaggerated. -------------------- |
