We really are only ever hanging on to this rock by a fingernail.

Only in Russia! Crazy stuff, do you know if anyone was killed?

There are some news outlets reporting injuries. Whether directly from the meteorite or otherwise I don't know.

Interesting that a near Earth fly by of an asteroid is/was also scheduled to occur.

:shock:That 2nd one made me jump! Boy that was loud! I know it's the tail of the meteorite but it set the sky on fire well enough! I hope everyone is okay...
I am so glad I am living in Australia right now

The view from the Urals would have been possibly once in a lifetime though.
