damn lucky russians, we always get the comets that don't show, or the meteor showers during a rainy day. They get exploding asteroids.

I saw a meteor like that in about the year 2000 early evening in the summer. I was travelling west bound on Memorial Dr. and it was travelling south just this side of the Rockies. I didn't see it go down as it went out of sight, and probably exploded in the mountains. I pulled over to watch and a bunch of other cars did as well. I checked later in the news and on the net but I never saw any reports.

Exactly! I have friends saying it's "terrifying" and I just can't figure out why. This is awesome as a space-weather-nerd.

That would be pretty neat to see love but I think there are some Russians that are going to have dreams about Aliens for a long time.

Stupid question, did it hit a building?

What is so cool about this, is with all of the dash cams that recorded it, from so many angles, they will likely be able to find the debris in a hurry once the math nerds get involved.
I am assuming the sonic booms are what damaged the factory, not the meteorites.
Kinda like a mini Tunguska event:
