(Off Topic) Meteors touch down in Russia

[JJ]

http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/upload/thumb_link/4457_7310.jpg (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=2601) Multiple meteors touched down in Central Russia in Ural region February 15th. These meteors caused injury from shattered windows, and broken class. It is believed these meteors broke off the larger meteor 2012-Da14, which missed the earth by less than 30,000 miles the same day. Had Da-14 stuck earth, it would have destroyed everything within a 10 mile radius much like a nuclear bomb. In the second video you can hear a loud sonic boom followed my smaller explosions possibly from parts of the meteor contacting the Earth surface.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=2601)

Supposedly they are tracking a bigger one that may pass close or enter our atmosphere

That is just MIR's realitives stopping by for a visit :D

[MadeInRu]

Yeah, it's me dropping by.... Literally in this case :D Dash cams are also protection against corrupt cops.

[MadeInRu]

Btw, imagine if that actually happened in worst time of cold war.... We would have been back to stone age by now with that red button happy attitude of that time...

New information provided by a worldwide network of sensors has allowed scientists to refine their estimates for the size of the object that entered that atmosphere and disintegrated in the skies over Chelyabinsk, Russia, at 7:20:26 p.m. PST, or 10:20:26 p.m. EST on Feb. 14 (3:20:26 UTC on Feb. 15).

The estimated size of the object, prior to entering Earth's atmosphere, has been revised upward from 49 feet (15 meters) to 55 feet (17 meters), and its estimated mass has increased from 7,000 to 10,000 tons. Also, the estimate for energy released during the event has increased by 30 kilotons to nearly 500 kilotons of energy released. These new estimates were generated using new data that had been collected by five additional infrasound stations located around the world - the first recording of the event being in Alaska, over 6,500 kilometers away from Chelyabinsk. The infrasound data indicates that the event, from atmospheric entry to the meteor's airborne disintegration took 32.5 seconds. The calculations using the infrasound data were performed by Peter Brown at the University of Western Ontario, Canada.

"We would expect an event of this magnitude to occur once every 100 years on average," said Paul Chodas of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "When you have a fireball of this size we would expect a large number of meteorites to reach the surface and in this case there were probably some large ones."

The trajectory of the Russia meteor was significantly different than the trajectory of the asteroid 2012 DA14, which hours later made its flyby of Earth, making it a completely unrelated object. The Russia meteor is the largest reported since 1908, when a meteor hit Tunguska, Siberia.

this one hits outside Moscow, last one 1908 hits Siberia. God hates Russia. BTW: imagine something ONLY 55ft in diameter weighing 10,000tons!!!WTF 20,000,000lbs??? twenty million pounds-that is STUPIDense

As seen from the incident with the meteorite in Chelyabinsk, the most popular expression of what has been said before the end of the world will be in Russia, - "No dick yourself!!!"

Well, yes if translated literally. But it basically means the same thing as English "No fucking way".

Best quote i saw was "in soviet russia space explored you

[alejandro6505]

Better in Russia than here

[MadeInRu]

Better in Russia than here

Maybe better your backyard? WTF better Russia means? Better fucking nowhere then anywhere. Use your brain, if it's gonna be bigger, it makes no fucking difference where it's going to fall.

[Appollyon]

It could be UFO :D

Just look at the Uranium you can harvest from that Commie instead of stealing it from us lol jk

Just Serpa, some people amaze me at how short minded they are. Siberian forests are second after the ones at the Amazon river in oxygen production. If they get fucked, we will have some serious issues at our hands, like shortage of clean air to start with.
