Russia hit with exploding meteorite.

Russia hit with exploding meteorite. 

From Chicago Tribune, ((A meteorite streaked across the sky and exploded over central Russia on Friday, raining fireballs over a vast area and causing a shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured 1,200 people.))

I was getting ready to go to sleep when I noticed news stories about a meteor.   At first I thought we finally had the “big one” hitting a city.  However, this one started to break up as it went over The Russian Urals region.   When I first read the story, it was being reported that 400 people were hurt by this chunk of rock, then it was 500, now it is up to 1,200.

The other thing worth noting is a lot of dash cams witnessed this incident due to the high amount of dash cams in Russia. 

The huge rock that passed by us has nothing to do with the meteorite that exploded over Russian.  However, I can’t help but think of that opening scene in Armageddon.

It is interesting to see how close they got it right and a bit creepy.  

Doors and windows literally blew apart when the meteor started to break up in the sky.
