Meteorite Explodes in Russia

[Sanctus]

A meteorite fell in Russia earlier this morning exploding in mid-air. It shattered glass and injured hundreds of people. Crazy stuff guys.

I thought that asteroid was supposed to fly by tonight?
I remember reading there was an asteroid due to fly by earth sometime tonight which was considered a "city buster".

In Soviet Russia, troposphere breaks up asteroid.

2012abunchofletters is supposed to fly by tonight, and that asteroid is quite a bit larger. This was a smaller, unrelated meteorite.

Known facts so far:
-Meteorite was 10-tons, 2 meters across
-Trajectory was over the Ural Mountains
-Nearly 1000 people were injured
-3,000 buildings were damaged

There's already a wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Russian_meteor_event

LOL: "One of the most popular jokes was that the meteorite was supposed to fall on Dec. 21 last year — when many believed the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world — but was delivered late by Russia’s notoriously inefficient postal service."

In Soviet Russia, space explore you.

Saw videos earlier today, insane event but also breathtaking. I knew they'd be hundreds of dashcams that recorded it Anywhere else in the world and it wouldnt have as good footage.
