Meteor Explodes Near Chelyabinsk Injuring a Thousand

There have been many accounts of hundreds of injuries from this exploding meteor but I can't find what kind of
injuries they are. Are there burns from the super heated pieces of the meteor, or are people being hit with
fragments of the meteorite? Earlier there was talk about a close pass of an asteroid but the possibility of
the asteroid landing were said to be remote. No reports of any deaths as yet....hopefully there won't be any.

Says in the article most were from shards of glass. I guess it broke a lot of glass with the shockwave.
They say most Asteroids are binary...
never mind, they say this meteorite came from a different trajectory

Apparently this event and today's near asteroid miss are unrelated.
Meteor shower in Russia unrelated to large asteroid predicted to make a close pass - Science - The Boston Globe
I find that hard to believe. Events like these occur once every 20-50 years. What are the odds that two events like this would occur on the same day?

The shooting gallery is open for business!
It appears that not only Momma is pissed at us, but now the Gawds are too.

naw, this meteor is the equivalent of a "spit ball" compared with what weve been receiving over time...
Gods? We are the Gods!!! We have always been the gods, ever since we stopped worshipping animals
We would have but someone forgot to put the string through our jacket....and so we lost them.
Interesting, last night my neighbour and I were out for our nightly walk and something
went shooting across the sky toward the south and west. It was bright like a shooting
star but a touch brighter. Just a shooting star but there is definitely some skyward
action happening.

It may have been shot down.

Cuba Update: Apparently, another potential meteor crash may have happened in Cuba today. Related? From the foreign language news site: "In a report released this morning by Rodas, town in the province of Cienfuegos, witnesses described a very bright light that has come to have large size, comparable to that of a bus, before exploding in the sky."

ive seen something similar near sudbury like 4 years ago.... I think i may have even asked on this forum about it..... It was a small gold streak cutting across the sky....
This happens way more often than we like to think.... Everyday we are taking in ****
Videos of the event may be found here and here. In many of the videos you can hear the sound of windows shattering as the meteor's loud shock wave reaches the ground. Onlookers cry out in Russian as alarms and sirens sound in the background. Stay tuned for updates!
ASTEROID FLYBY: At 2:25 p.m. EST (19:25 UTC) on Friday, Feb. 15th, asteroid 2012 DA14 will fly past Earth only 17,200 miles above our planet's surface. This will put it well inside the orbit of geosynchronous satellites, closer than any asteroid of the same size has come since regular sky surveys began in the 1990s.
