Meteorite Hits Russia
Talk about something unexpected that would ruin your day. Must be a total shock to all of those affected.
It's also amazing how many people got this thing on video.

Thankfully nobody was heavily injured by this. I am curious to hear the conspiracy theories surrounding this.
It happened before and it will happen again. Sometimes we are so busy and focused on our day-to-day life that we forget we live in just a tiny planet surrounded by millions of objects. I am just surprised no one was able to detect that it would infact hit Earth, since it appears to have a significant size.
This can be a real threat to our existence and that's why billions of dollars are spent in order to find new technology to destroy these kind of threats, last time I heard lasers were an answer.

There is something which I never realized and apparently many Russians didn't either. It is that the sonic boom arrives a lot later than the flash of light. The same way thunder comes after lightning. Most of the Russian injuries were because of broken glass, probably because they saw a flash of light and walked to the window to see what it was. Than a little later the sonicboom blows the glass right in their face. Now I know, thanks Russia
