Turned on the TV this morning expecting a piece about the asteroid due to pass later today in the 'nearest miss ever' and instead the headlines are 'up to 500 injured in Russian meteor strike'

The proliferation of dashboard cameras means a lot of morning commuters caught the whole thing, some with audio -

I expect youtube will be busy today.

Not quite Tunguska II but pretty amazing, and a coincidence to boot. I bet a lot of people will be nervously watching the sky for any other debris that might be in tow.

Scary stuff, especially since they said it was going to miss us by 17,000 miles
 
That one will miss us, hopefully.

That one is a lot larger than those little rocks falling today, they look a lot larger when surrounded in fireball ... not to make light of the amount of damage though that even smaller rocks can make, as seen in those clips.

The one though, tonight, is a beast. We don't want that landing on our Planet.

Size of an Olympic swimming pool apparently

it's strange, there's no pandora or pandora's part package under the meteor... or was there some?
