It appears the Sky is falling... Meteorites have started falling in Russia, more than likely nothing to do with the huge meteorite meant to pass by closely today so no need to panic.

That first line made my heart race, right up to where it said Russia

First time I've seen a Russian dashcam that didn't involve a collision or pedestrians being casually mowed down.

weird headline, "meteorite" must be some sort of new terrorist group

That's pretty scary, imagine the damage a meteorite could cause landing in a big city.

CollardGreens · 15-02-2013 06:52AM

Why didn't Valdimir Putin send out letters of notification first :mad:

expectationlost · 15-02-2013 06:53AM

are those pictures real was building really struck by a meterite? would it cause that much damage, usually pretty small by the time they hit, unless it hit something that was exploded

Thinking out loud here, but since the earth is turning.....what's to stop them things from hitting the rest of us?

Like, it's 1am here and I'm wondering if I should venture outside and look up? yikes!

Spook_ie · 15-02-2013 07:09AM

Interesting that it's on RT news channel, some truth in it or are RT a bit weird like some news stations?

sky have it On their breaking news ticker but no report yet.

drunkmonkey · 15-02-2013 07:19AM

According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo reportedly blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers.

Holy Smokes just like that movie with the fresh prince, yikes we better scramble our fighter jets..

Mr. Chrome · 15-02-2013 07:23AM

Jesus 100 injured in Russia, look north east I guess, thought they said 7.30pm but I could be wrong.

Aren't those things worth a fortune?

vickers209 · 15-02-2013 09:08AM

At its closest approach, which will occur at 7.24pm Irish time, the asteroid will pass about 27,520km above the planet traveling at 13km per second, bringing it nearer than the networks of television and weather satellites that ring the planet.

So you've bascially started and ended your own thread with that post.

antodeco · 15-02-2013 09:35AM

I dont understand why they blew it up with a missle. Surely just figure out where its going to land and put a load of trampolines in its path?

In your face Jesus!
