There's quite a few videos of it coming in...the impact seemed quite harsh 

Another atmospheric impact similar to the one that happened in Russia in 1908 known as the Tunguska Event. Although additionally small fragments of this recent events were seen falling from the sky. 

Reports of casualties for this Chelyabinsk Event are starting to come through on news sites. Something about a school and officies, windows blown out. People said it felt/sounded like an earthquake and very loud thunder at the same time. 

They say about 100 minor injuries at this time. Could have been a lot worse, although these casualty reports have a habit of changing substantially as time goes on!

Jon's birthday is to blame.

It's a great idea to make sure your volume is turned way up before you hit play on this one.  Yeah...  I bit my tongue and almost jumped out of my chair!

Well - than we can add you to the list of injured too... But I am sorry. I should have warned. I did not realize someone would watch with volume turned up that high. I hope the damage was not that big...

another reminder of our fickle existence in the universe

Wow!  I'm speechless.

crank those subs too..... 


don't forget, this has nothing to do with the other one... the bigger one that is passing 17.2k miles up later today..... well inside the orbit of the communication sats and global positioning sats which set up there at 22k miles.
