Trail left by the meteorite

This PBS program, broadcast about 6 weeks after the event, has some interesting tales.

The meteorite clearly showed that colloquial russian has a phrase which can be roughly translated as “Holy crap, what was that?!!!”.

Now this is some downright SCARY stuff. A rogue meteor sneaks up on us, hiding itself with its back to the sun, and going straight for the prize.

Ok, so the folks in Chelyabinsk got a dusting up, and they seem to have survived it quite well, but had that dude did a fly by and clobbered some place really crowed, there would have been body parts flying in every direction!

Just imagine if that dude hit Tokyo, Beijing, Delhi or Rio!

Or any city in the US or Canada.

Who knows when and where the next one will hit? God and God alone. And I think God may be a little PeeOhdd at the condition of the human race right about now.

Time to reconsider how we do things. Just my opinion.

” the most common complaint related to eyes – 180 people said their eyes hurt and 70 were temporarily blinded”

I believe that is how the movie “The Day of the Triffids” began. Everyone in the world went blind and these giant Sunflowers started to attack people. =)
