Thank goodness it crashed into a frozen lake.
Other possible targets would have been a bummer.
Without sounding rude, how on earth could you not know the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound?Quote:

I never thought about people going to the window after seeing the flash, and it makes a lot of sense.Quote:

That my friends, is a LOT of energy transfer. Good thing most of it took place in the air.
Surely, the standard unit for measuring big explosions nowadays is 'Hiroshima'? :D So, take your megatons elsewhere, good sir, and tell us how many Hiroshimas the meteorite produced? ;)Quote:
