As soon as I saw the headlines about the Russian meteor explosion I said to myself, “They’re going to have this on camera because of all those Russian dash cams”. Sure enough, I found 3 different angles already:
Holy shit that is incredible. Good find!
That is both the coolest, and freekiest, thing I’ve ever seen. In each version it looks like the fireball is headed right for em. That was really cool !
Is it safe to say that the “fire” you are seeing is them burning up while entering the atmosphere? Jesus I hope so, those things look they are the size of a fucking house.
THE TRANSFORMERS ARE HERE!
That is fucking awesome. Did they find it yet? Can I buy it on eBay?
EDIT::::::::::::::::::::
HOLY FUCK! Scroll down and listen to the explosion video. Couldn’t link to it.
In the first vid I love how the people on the sidewalk keep moving like nothing is happening…
That’s pretty nuts Russian missile defense hit this thing
I think that’s a rumor
There is a manly Putin joke in here somewhere, but I’m just not awake enough to find it.
Really cool stuff… had to be scary as shit to witness.
I seriously doubt that happened, but I’m sure Putin will claim it did.
Then release a press photo of him shirtless tossing a javelin at it or some other nonsense.
No javelin necessary. Putin uses his bare hands to stop meteorites. Then he rides a lion into the sunset.
Wait, is this the one that was supposed to miss us? The one that’s been in the news for the past few weeks?
there we go, I’m glad someone was on top of it
No different one
It’s not. This is a smaller one. The one I was thinking of DOES pass us today but won’t enter atmosphere. More here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/asteroids/news/asteroid20130201315144.html
17,150 miles is VERY VERY CLOSE. It really makes you consider how vulnerable we are.
This might be a stupid question but is there any sort of action plan if we were slated for impact on a catastrophic level?
Edit: That doesnt involve Bruce Willis or Ben Afflack
On a serious note, this thing weighed close to 10 tons. That’s huge! 500 people were injured, but only 34 went to the hospital.
Also I lol’d @ this:
“Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the nationalist leader noted for vehement statements, said “It’s not meteors falling, it’s the test of a new weapon by the Americans,” the RIA Novosti news agency reported.”
