A meteor struck east of Moscow (at Chelyabinsk), travelling at nearly 40,000 mph, and with a force of 500 kilotons of TNT left a trail of about 300 miles long, The meteor shattered about 30-50 km above the earth, the Russian Academy of Sciences. The meteor was only about the size of bus and weighed about 7,000 tons but the fireworks that resulted was dramatic.. The contrails as the meteor blasted across the sky just before the sunrise, showed a like end of the earth scene.
It was the largest recorded meteor fall in more than a century and occurred 4 hours before a 150 ft. asteroid came very close to the earth (17,000 miles). The European science agency determined that there was no connection between the meteor strike and the asteroid flyby.
The meteor strike caused a shock wave in an area of 100,000 square miles and the force of the explosion was 50x the force of Hiroshima atomic bomb.
The injuries came from the flying glass and shock wave.
What is happenning here? Then there si the earthquake in Southern Philippines?
