Meteor Hits Russia

[Zing!]

You can bet the Ruskie army had that impact zone cordoned off in minutes looking for any debris.

They were desperately trying to stop the undead from rising from their graves...

[Zing!]

The could just call Bruce Willis. Isn't he kicking ass in Russia right now?

[BITEYOASS]

Proof that God hates shitty Russian techno-pop. Unfortunately he was too drunk to hit the target.

[Kristy]

Damn. Shame that didn't happen here where all the poor, uneducated and welfare mongers are. Are you reading this, Smellvis?

[Fairwrning]

Insane...that was way too close..

[Kristy]

Eh, wasn't close enough.

The world needs a serious depopulation program.

And soon.

[Kristy]

This is so cool!

Nyungki nyunkh rutov blah bah blah...BOOM!



Hey! What's the betting that Jones and his paranoid ilk will be saying in the next few days this is all one big "psy op" operation and that this meteor "really didn't happen"?

Well he's not kicking ass in the cinema...

I love the sound of that woman's yelp when the plane goes over ...

[Fairwrning]

I didnt even see the plane til it was gone...damn...and that guy at 1:18 was skilled and lucky as hell..between the bus and car head-on..wow

The crash at 40 secs - two guys in the white car that gets turned around, just casually walk away! Maybe it's a stolen car, and they're thinking - okay, time to GTF.

It will probably turn out that it was just the size of a bowling ball or something.

The energy of these things because of their velocity is scary.

OK I was talking shit.

The Russian meteor -- estimated to be just 10 tons and about 15 meters or 49 feet wide -- entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 33,000 mph and shattered about 18-32 miles above the ground. It released the energy of several kilotons above the Chelyabinsk region.

Still when you imagine something the size of a football pitch wiping out 800 square miles, or something the size of a small town which would look like a grain of sand hitting a football wiping out most of life it's a bit mad.

Of course the irony is that without shit like that none of us would be alive....

The asteroid that passed us closely today is about the size of an American football field and wouldn't be an "extinction event" if it hit. A similar sized asteroid has left a mile wide crater in the American Southwest, but was made mostly of iron so it was a tad more powerful...
