First of all to all our gamer friends & opponents from the Motherland, descendants of the proud Viking Rus, I hope none of your loved ones were among the 950 injured by debris from the chunk of meteor that hit a building, if they were I wish them a quick recovery. When I first heard of it, a friend of mine was spreading an apparent rumor that 500 people died by it. I checked out several online news sources and found nothing about any deaths, only mounting injuries. I fear a possible cover up involved here if the initial rumor was actually the true news that leaked out but I am hopeful that no one was killed. So please confirm this.

For those who are not aware, 950 people were injured by flying glass and debris from a building in Chelyabinsk, Russia by a meteor hitting the earth. Meteorites actually bombard our atmosphere every day but most are burned up before they can reach the earth. This sort of event is very rare. But what happens when the earth's atmospher gets too thin to hold them back? Or if one gets through that is just large enough to cause nationwide or worldwide fallout upon impact?

Quite awesome to see such a spectacle, though I hope no one got seriously injured and the damage done to the enviroment isn't too high.

It's passage through the dense layers of atmosphere looks more spectacular.

Ths is just a reminder of the asteroid that is passing near earth today, closer than the moon's orbit.
Most likely a fragment of it.

Haha, now, my dear sir, sarcasm is becoming your virtue and the work becoming a genre itself.

"According to NASA scientists, the trajectory of the Russia meteor was significantly different than the trajectory of the asteroid 2012 DA14, making it a completely unrelated object. Information is still being collected about the Russia meteor and analysis is preliminary at this point. In videos of the meteor, it is seen to pass from left to right in front of the rising sun, which means it was traveling from north to south. Asteroid DA14's trajectory is in the opposite direction, from south to north."

I held some concert here in Leipzig together with the russian community of the town to gather some raising for the victims of the krim floods back then, we had major problems getting the money to someone who actually can provide the money. Do you think this would be the same? Would love to help, but don't want to waste my ressources, time, moneyz...

Sounds like they wasted a perfectly fine opportunity to grab their K's and start shooting the sky.
