Meteor Explodes Near Chelyabinsk Injuring a Thousand

Exploding meteor over Russia injures more than 950 - World - CBC News
A meteor travelling 54 000 km/h explodes with the force of an atomic bomb.

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.

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?

What we are told and what we should believe are often diametrically opposite.

The shooting gallery is open for business!

It appears that not only Momma is pissed at us, but now the Gawds are too.

We should have worn mittens.

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

Sure it was a meteor? What do the conspiracy theorists have to say?

We would have but someone forgot to put the string through our jacket....and so we lost them.

Poor little kitten lost her mittens.LOL

S'alright. I got pockets.

Bet you can't play pocket pool.

Also can't write my name in the snow.

But I cope.

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 ****

he trajectory of the Russian meteorite was significantly different than the trajectory of the asteroid 2012 DA14, making it a completely unrelated object. Information is still being collected about the Russian meteorite and analysis is preliminary at this point. In videos of the meteor, it is seen to pass from left to right in front of the rising sun, which means it was traveling from north to south. Asteroid DA14's trajectory is in the opposite direction, from south to north." http://spaceweather.com/
