HQ Video of Meteor burn
Check out the shockwave!
Seriously impressive stuff- the geologist in me is just giddy.
Quite a coincidence that this was <24 hours away from the fly-by. |

Crazy videos! The Russians...not a very excitable people?!...well, except for the dog in the one video.
Pretty wild on how long it took the sound to travel...AND be that loud.

That sonic boom was incredible. That must have been so scary for them not knowing what exactly was going on. It's funny how we can sometimes forget how science works.
Here's how it would have gone down had I been there. It freaked me out just listening to it from the comforts of my living room.
"Oooo, big streak in the sky! I wonder where that wen..." BOOOOOOM "Ahhh!" *faint* |

I was noticing that too. Like no one was saying, "WFT was that?!" It was like they have random shit falling from space there all the time. You can kind of hear the breathing of the guy in the second video. He was freaked out, but I would have yelled something down to the people below like, "WTF was that?!" |

| It's fascinating that no matter what happens there is always at least one person with a camera ready in their hand to get the video. |

Just heard on CNN that there are a million dash-cams in Russia. Cabbies and bus drivers are wary of police corruption and want documentation of police encounters, etc. |

"So far, more than 700 people are reported to have been injured, mainly from broken glass, according to a statement from the Russian Emergency Ministry."
From this article. |

From these, and some other videos I've watched, I gather that Russians are totally badass mofos. I think that if you walked up to a Russian and cut his hand off, he'd probably just pick up his hand in indifferent silence, and walk away. Russians don't care, they're badass!

According to my research, the Russian would actually beat you with the severed limb, then walk away drinking Vodka to find a shot of krokidil to ease his pain.. And of course the whole thing would, without a doubt, be caught on dashcam. |
