Meteor shower hits Russia

[Speed]

I think they determined that it was an explosion and not just a sonic boom.

 

I also saw that Mythbusters episode, I admit, I was a little surprised what it took to break the windows.

 

But yea, an F-18 doesn't superheat the air around it to like 50,000 degrees or whatever, and then suddenly dissipate hundreds of kilotons of kinetic energy in less than a second.

Then I suppose you agree with this Onion news satire?

So far, maybe it's OK to joke about it because no one was killed (even if that wasn't the case, the Onion wouldn't care though, I'm sure :D). However, I was worried that with so many windows broken, some people could die from exposure to the cold. Do you know if everyone warm enough? If not, it could be that this meteor DID in fact kill somebody, albeit, indirectly.

It could indeed. Even window frames were broken, and somewhere window doors were opened and thrown to people. Many of them stared in window when wave reached the Earth. So broken glass injured some of them. Children were scared, old people were scared. Only some people could say "that was e meteor". Cellphones worked (and it meant that it was not a nuclear bomb:)) but network was overloaded of scared calls.

 

At night -10 C and in the daytime about 0 C. So it's quite warm for winter. Broken windows were fixed with a polyethylene wrap or MDF.

 

My friend gave me that video from his office.

 

But anyway that natures thing was beautiful.

Best reaction to the meteor

In general, when theres 1 or 2 asteroids, theres usualy more. The question is only what sizes.

Weren't we only looking at 20+% of the sky? This is pretty much why this current rock slipped through. Sweet dreams.

so which happening caused broken windows ?

noise shockwave of hypersonic speed or explosion shockwave when the "rock" exploded ?

from many videos iv heard small but a lot of continuous noises of explosions (sounds fireworks) after the big booom - was it the noise when small already exploded parts burning out/exploding more in the atmosphere ?

Echos.

First explosionshockwave then sonic boom, it was too small and too high for heat damage.

The largest found part of Chebarkul meteorite. It weights about 1 kg.
