Blazing Meteor Fireball Injures 400 In Russia!
Here's the impact spot... looks to be about the size of a 2-car garage...   Feb 15 13 10:55 am Link So like WTF is up with our braindead Astronomer Scientists? According to news sources, the meteor coming in later today is SMALLER than this one that impacted Earth earlier today. Why are they watching THAT ONE and not monitoring THIS ONE?...

Far funnier not explained.  Feb 15 13 01:27 pm Link Select Models wrote: You got that completely bass-ackwards.

The DA14 asteroid (which just passed by Earth without contact) is half a football field in length (approximately 150ft)... and that's BEFORE it would enter the Earths atmosphere. The asteroid that streaked across the Russian skies, ended up making a whole the size of a small house... and that's AFTER it blew up and majorly disintegrated before it made contact...

Feb 15 13 02:16 pm Link Orca Bay Images wrote: So you're saying that the Russian meteorite was 50 feet in diameter BEFORE it entered the Earth's atmosphere, and created an ice whole crator larger than 50 feet in diameter AFTER it exploded and hit the ground? A metorite blazing thru the atmosphere would lose a SIGNIFICANT amount of it's mass while burning up and before making impact. That's what makes sence to me... Feb 15 13 02:22 pm Link Select Models wrote: Look at the picture of the hole in the ice. It's not even close to 50ft in diameter. More like 15-20ft across. Feb 15 13 02:24 pm Link Select llamas wrote: The crater we see was likely made from a fragment of the original meteor. I've seen grenades, landmines and dynamite make craters that size... but they aren't traveling at tens of thousands of miles per hour. Feb 15 13 02:27 pm Link Orca Bay Images wrote: 15 to 20 feet across?... NOT EVEN! Here's a shot disclosing alot more if it's REAL size... more like 80-100 feet across...

Feb 15 13 02:54 pm Link The photo 2 posts above this MIGHT have a crater 30 feet wide.

And it's nowhere near 100ft. It's not even close to 80ft. Feb 15 13 03:00 pm Link Orca Bay Images wrote: Feb 15 13 03:02 pm Link Select Models wrote: ON the news..this is just one of the 3 chunks....

Feb 15 13 03:15 pm Link For fucks sake guys, the chunk that landed in Russia today was no more than 5ft across, yet a rock of that size weighing 10 tons or more can easily create a hole 15-20ft across.

Feb 15 13 05:54 pm Link What is the Russian equivalent of "Holy crap!"? Feb 15 13 05:57 pm Link Lose the caution tape! Feb 15 13 05:59 pm Link Of course it's caught with multiple dash cams - only in Russia! Pretty amazing video. Just a reminder of how powerless we are in the face of nature. Feb 15 13 06:04 pm Link I'm waiting for the people in SB to claim this is Obama's fault ... or the Pope ... or impacting the 2nd Amendment ... or God ... or lack of God ... or ......... Feb 15 13 06:16 pm Link The bombs we dropped on Japan were about 16 Kilo tons. This "little rock" was 300 about Kilo tons - damned lucky if exploded as high up as it did! http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/15/world/eur … ?hpt=hp_t1 Feb 15 13 06:17 pm Link DP monster - sorry Feb 15 13 06:18 pm Link Select Models wrote: A thousand injured?
