This is scary, amazing, terrifying, and beautiful all at the same time. A meteor exploded over Russia a few hours ago and was captured by many dash cams and handheld camcorders. It's said to have injured 250 people.
You can hear the explosion at about 0:35 into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlX7xO6rWts http://gizmodo.com/5984476/meteorite...-updating-live Here is the article where I found it. I do suggest watching some of the videos posted there.

And second: Why do they keep on driving as if this happens twice a day? In some of those video's it looks as if it's coming right at them and they won't even flinch, they even keep watching the rearview mirror.

The sad thing is I just read this like half an hour ago and I can't find the website I read that on!!
Either way, this is an amazing, yet terrifying event. And it's really mind blowing since I was just reading about the Tanguska Event only a couple of days ago.

I too was just learning more about the Tanguska Event... I suppose when you have that much land mass it makes for quite a target.
