A 10-ton meteor exploded in the sky above Russia on Friday, causing a shockwave that blew out windows injuring some 400 people and sending fragments falling to the ground in the Ural Mountains.

I am noting the peoples’ reactions and the light/noise effects from the event.
One can imagine the panic should this happen over an American city.
PING of interest.
From what I’ve been reading, the bolide exploded at about 30,000 feet up.
It’s a damn good thing it exploded as high up as it did. The damage caused by the pressure wave was significant. I can only imagine how much worse it would’ve been if it had air-burst at 3,000 or 5,000 feet above Chelyabinsk - it would’ve been like a nuclear blast.
Still, over 950 injured (mostly minor) and structural damage to some 3,000 buildings. That’s nothing to sneeze at. It’s quite similar in many ways to the 1908 Tunguska Event.

Oh, well, they always told me the fall is no problem, it’s that sudden stop at the bottom that’s really hell.
In the late 60’S I saw a meteor in daylight. At first I thought it was a plane crash. It went from east to west, burned bright green and broke into at least three pieces. No sound. It was reported by several people across at least three states. Very impressive. K
The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
Did it fall into the reservoir?
Related to the close miss today?
so, how big was this thing that exploded today?
if they saw the one that is coasting by at 2PM, didnt they see this one? (are they from the same direction?)
“Related to the close miss today?”
Could it be related to Global Warming???? /sarc.
More likely related to 2012 DA14 than to Gorebull warming.
Wish I knew.
According to Russian scientists, they didn’t see this one coming, as it came from a different direction.
The cosmic equivalent of a sucker punch.
I was just wondering if there were any more
of these traveling with the big visitor due
later in the day.
Those sonic booms must have about woke the
dead as granddaddy used to say when TVA was
building the steam plant next to us
Seems like someone up there isn’t too happy with Pootie-Poot
“One can imagine the panic should this happen over an American city.”
It should have happened directly over the U.S. Capitol building.
Do you think that might finally wake them up?

well they wouldn’t have to bend over and kiss their asses goodbye since their collective heads are already there.
Huge list of videos with some photos I found - all in Russian:

Enjoy!
I gotta say I admire the Russian people.
If this had been here people would be going pure D ApeSpit. We would be inundated with news stories of hardship, injury, people suffering from the cold, calls for emergency aid drives, proclamations of disaster and calls for federal relief that come too slowly. You can bet your azz that Shiela Jackson Lee or somebody would proclaim some form of discrimination and the baby mommas and daddys would be out looking for someone to blame, sue or touch for money and free stuff.
The Russians? Wow! That was bad but it missed us and could have been a lot worse. We’ll fix the cuts and repair the damage. Bye now.
HaHa. Of course this happens during the third trumpet of God's wrath, which happens AFTER Jesus returns in the clouds to gather his elect (Rev 14:14). And no one will miss His return. "Behold he commeth with clouds, and EVERY EYE shall see him..." (Rev 1:7a).
