Around 400 people reported injured by glass from explosion as meteorite flared in the sky and broke up over Ural mountains

    "Meteorite"? A likely story. I've read War of the Worlds; I know how this goes.

    And I've played X-Com. Yeah, we're in trouble. Just lucky it's Russia.

    Those guys are the gold standard for dealing with space aliens.

    Pretty sure I would just assume world war 3 had started and the nukes were falling at that point.

    Meh. If it had been North Korea we would already have seen a propaganda video of how The Glorious Leader is personally responsible for inventing North Koreas new Meteor Attractor Technology.

    I've got a couple of friends who are recording DA14's near earth flyby (no joke: they've got a team of boyscouts using our departments telescopes here in the uk and another telescope in La Palma) tonight. This meteorite is such a huge coincidence!

    The Kremlin will announce the real story any day now

    a heroic tale of courage where Putin personally went into space and planted the nuke which destroyed the much larger meteor before it could hit Russia

    he rode one of the fragments all the way back down

    I hope NASA is hard at work training a team of drillers to take care of the Texas-sized asteroid this meteorite is a herald of.

    Scientists have concluded that the meteor is "Really kinda fuckin' big, like woah." They went on to say that it was also "going, like, super fast. It's totes crazy you guys. Did you even hear that explosion? Man..."
