    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..

    Jesus can you imagine how frightening it must have been to watch?!

    I think I've watched too many disaster movies (and that Derren Brown thing at Halloween).

    I'd start freaking the fúck out. And looting. All the looting.

    Definitely a bit of state-sponsored bull****. These things are a few cm across travelling at thousands of km per hour. Not a hope in hell they could shoot it down.

    I looked through loads this morning and this one really captures the sound and resulting damage. A brick would have been shat.

    This is becoming too much like the movie Deep Impact. Especially now that America really does have a black president. So.. where is the highest place in Ireland? Something tells me I should go there right now.

    There is an asteroid passing the earth today around 5 o clock Irish time (nasa have been tracking it for a year) sky experts said there is no connection between the two..... Too much of a coincidence for me so if your going for high ground you have 7 and half hours to get there or else get out your manual..... Chicken licken

    Defo. We wouldn't have a hope in hell of intercepting a meteor in atmosphere.

    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
    Tell that to he dinosaurs. :) The one that helped do them in left a crater 180 clicks across.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
