Chelyabinsk Meteorites

On February 15th, 2013 at 9:22 A.M. local time a tremendous fireball lit up the sky over the city of Chelyabinsk southwest Russia. Shortly afterwards, a massive shockwave equivalent to a 300-kiloton explosion rocked the area. Windows were blown out in thousands of buildings and nearly 1,000 people were injured, primary from flying glass. Some residents reportedly thought nuclear war and begun and the world was about to end.
