There's a small, but important, distinction.

Knowing NASA as we do today, the official agency response would be “Inshallah”..

There were a bunch of amazing videos of this on line last night. Russians have a habit of keeping dash cams running continuously.

Russian astronomers have concluded the same. This one came from a different direction than Asteroid 2012 DA14.
Russian scientists estimate the object exploded at about 30,000 to 70,000 feet up, with an explosive yield ranging from 1 to 10 kilotons. Not quite as spectacular as the Tunguska Event, which is estimated by astronomers to have produced a 15 megaton explosion, but this was a much smaller object.

James Hanson will blame it on carbon bigfoot and/or ancient aliens.

Maybe the Mayans were 2-months off? Just a fraction of a percent over 4000 years.

Has Jay Carney officially blamed it on Bush yet?

I’m pretty sure this has something to do with climate change. Perhaps Hank Johnson or Sheila Jackson Lee could explain the connection?

Was it caused by the Pope’s intent to resign or was the foreknowledge of these events too much for him not to resign?
