Near "end-of-days" / Bruce Willis moment in Russia

Nice sized bolide event (actually some small ground damage too). Check out the sound of the impact in the second video!





EDIT: More videos and photos here. Checkout the Zink factory it hit:

Pretty amazing stuff. A strike of that magnitude in a major city would have been devistating.

I read an article on the asteroid hit, which mentioned that a lot of Russians have installed dash cams to record car accidents, which is where some of the footage of the asteroid came from.

Re: Near "end-of-days" / Bruce Willis moment in Russia

This thread made me go looking. Crazy stuff. the video I watched had shown all of the car alarms that it set off as it went by. The next clips were of the victims. Mostly injured from broken glass. Not so much injuries from the impact, but shattered windows and such from the meteor moving at super sonic speed passing over head. Insane amount of force.

I really wonder if anyone knew this was coming. NASA? My initial reaction was, nope....
