500 Injured in Meteor Strike Above Russia |
 An
epic event occurred in Russia last night. A huge meteor passed through
the atmosphere over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk, setting off a shock
wave with a force great enough to shatter windows and injure nearly
500 people. Any living Siberian that might remember the
Tunguska event over Siberia in 1908 must have had a wicked flashback.
There is a good possibility it was a chunk of space rock associated
with asteroid 2012 DA14, due to fly by today this afternoon. There could
be more to come. Earth is a hard hat area today.
