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

Do we have any scale information on the cameras used to photograph the Russian bolide? Do we have any idea of the physical dimensions of the dust trail/debris trail (I don't think it's technically a contrail) I've looked at a lot of photographs and videos and I can't get a handle on how to scale the trail. My TLAR sense tells me that it's huge.
