    Meteorite hits Russia , 400 injured

    Russia's Urals region has been rocked by a meteorite explosion in the stratosphere. The impact wave damaged several buildings, and blew out thousands of windows amid frigid winter weather. Hundreds are seeking medical attention for minor injuries.

    Well, they are saying it is a meteorite explosion....


    Of course, it was only 2 actual injuries until a spate of accident claim sharks started bombarding mobile phones with a message "Have you been hit by a metiorite?" Many of these messages are thought to originate from extra-terrestrial crime syndicates in an attempt to disruptt the earth's insurance companies by false claims.

    Pretty amazing footage, must have been a break off piece of 2012 DA14. Wonder if there will be any more?

    The beeb's saying the trajectory is wrong, it came from pretty much the opposite direction and is unrelated to DA14.

    info as follows: approx 10 tons, entered atmosphere in excess of 35,000mph, was moving at 20,000mph just before it landed, and made a hole 6m wide in the icy lake it entered. Niiice

    One can never stop saying Thank You
