Meteor Injures 500 People in Russia

[WinterHold]

This one injured over 500 people, smashed a ton of windows and brought down a couple of buildings. (I've been watching some videos of the damage) The fact that so many people recorded it is pretty special.

mmm, it's kinda weird since 2012 DA14 is also roaming in earth's backyard.

Yeah I have a feeling that one might do a little more damage.

There is a cumulative 0.00000021% risk (1 in 4,700,000) of 2012 DA14 impacting Earth during future passes between 2080 and 2111.

I should be dead by 2080. That or far to old to give a fuck.

I would totally shit myself if I saw something like that. I'd probably think of a bomb first off. These videos make me think of early humans... No wonder they created explanations of god raining fire on the Earth.

Not really. 2012_Da14 is still pretty small in the scheme of things, and it would have to score a direct hit on a city to do serious damage. The chances of that is pretty slim. Most likely it would enter atmosphere over water and blow up at high altitude, without being much noticed.

Asteroids would have to be several hundred meters across, 10 times the size and 1000 times the mass of 2012_da14 to be a very big problem. Such an asteroid would do a great deal of damage regardless of where it enters atmosphere.

I would think that the Russians are coming.


Badum dash!*

I figured it might be North Korea's first attack aimed at the US. They pointed the missile the wrong way..

Yeah, North Korea's still trying to work out some kinks in their guided nuclear missiles...

Earthbound starts in Russia.

I knew this day would come.

In soviet Russia, space goes to you!

Putin is said to have thanked god that no one was killed, should have blamed god for sending it and causing damage and injury!

This same thread is on the islamic forum but with a different sort of tone to the thread, people posting messages like these

inshallah, I hope China is next

by all means rejoice at the guilty ones that were killed but maybe on of them was a Muslim who enjoined the good and forbid the evil.

so its ok if people who arent muslim die.

I'm not defending the Russians actions i hate them as much as the next guy.

maybe on of them was a Muslim who enjoined the good and forbid the evil.

They're getting what the Syrians had been under for months. Feeling helpless and waiting for that to fall on their heads.

A more interesting aspect is that they could not even see this coming! It came from nowhere are hit them, just shows how they brag about the effectiveness of the technology that they posess.
