Thanks BenLurkin.

Alexander Deutsch, a professor of planetology at the University of Münster in Germany, explained that the relatively small meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February would not have been detected using technologies available around the world today.

IOW, the headline is BS. :') He states that the current technology isn't up to the task, but that something 50 feet across doesn't cause that much damage anyway.

LOL. Back to 1970-1980s both NASA and Soviet RCA tracked objects as small as a lost camcorder.
For some reason no one is interested to maintain such a capabilities now.

And 500kt yield meteor explosion doesn’t cause any damage, sure.
That is probably coming from a person who thinks SUVs and livestock are killing our planet.
