That reminds me of the Candle Cove creepypasta... good ol' times.

[Keane]

Haha, Brum. I loved that, but I didn't actually pay attention to the appearance of the character until I got older, and then it just freaked me out.

Hm, didn't hear that one

Maybe because everyone was focused on this:

[Puruun]

Well the meteorite happened some minutes ago I thought.. The lightning was a few days ago. Still baffles me though. I hate it when god tries to make me believe in him with his little jokes...

[Matyuv]

Not in Moscow but holy shit

[Rulez]

Jesus fucking Christ. Matyuv I would invite you to Poland so you don't get hurt, but you'd be safer there than in here.

I read about that only about an hour after it happened. Here are some great videos I came across:

Through the atmosphere:




Impact:




Security camera footage:

[Rulez]

^ fuck yes, I wanted to post those videos. They're nice, but the first one is brilliant and majestic as fuck.

Crater:

The fireball that hit Russia’s Urals is the largest rock to strike the planet since 1908 (Tunguska event), Nature Magazine says. The blast was even more powerful than North Korea’s recent nuclear test, added the UK journal. Unlike the Russian Academy of Science, it estimated that the mass of the fireball was around 40 tons before it entered the atmosphere. Russian scientists put the mass at 10 tons.

[Haruka]

I just watched this in the news, holy smokes seriously!

[Rulez]

I feel bad for this, but I'm really damn happy seeing the footage of a meteor falling down, and the crater is magnificent as well. But that's just me sciencegasming.

However I do feel sorry for anyone who got hurt. So I hope that balances it out.

[spiraldoor]

That crater footage is from an unrelated event several years ago.

What's kind of interesting is that most people apparently got hurt by glass shards.

out of all the videos I saw for this, this is the most devastating one.

[sergiomonty]

HOLY GUACAMOLE!!! That's awful... I mean, yeah, watching the meteor is a beautiful experience, I understand Rulez' point of view... But damn...

Death rate, please? ó_o or just injured people?

[Adsolution]

There were no fatalities, but there were reportedly up to five hundred minor injuries - only eleven people required hospital treatment of some kind.

[sergiomonty]

phew... that's good to hear. Geez, God is so butthurt about the Pope's retirement that he's now throwing rocks and thunders at the Earth. Seriously, man, cool your tits down.

I was actually following that meteor for a while and even NASA promised it wouldn't hit earth... NASA lied to us!
