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.

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...
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.

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.

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.

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.

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