Meteorite crashes in Russia

[mass243]

Now they said nothing has been found from the lake so far.

"“The ministry’s divers have completed examining the lake’s area but discovered no traces of the meteorite,” Irina Rossius said."

Russians are cool as ice!

if that hit in the states there would be panic on the streets, people running to supermarkets to gather supplies , weapons out just in case more Meteors hit

  And there would be the folk standing around waiting, and complaining, about FEMA not doing enough for them instead of doing shit to help themselves

Quite possibly the best reaction to the Russian meteor

METEORITE STRIKE AFTERMATH
 
After the massive strike of the meteorite last month, Russian officials, volunteers and scientists from all over the world had gathered at the crash site. The purpose for such a massive search was to gather the fragments of the meteorite while also obtaining data and closure to the residents of Chelyabinsk.

Over 100 pieces have been discovered after nearly combing and excavating 50 km (31 miles) of the area including Lake Chebarkul & Ural Mountains. Along with recent videos, photographs and infrasound readings, they have been able to determine and evaluate more information on the meteorite itself.

Here are the following updates:
 
- Russian experts at Ural Federal University have determined the meteorite to be a common space rock called Chondrite. The meteorite had traces of pyroxene, olivine, troilite, kamacite & taenite.
 
- The meteorite had spent approximately 4.5 billion years in space before it hit the Earth's surface.
 
- Colombian astronomers have been able to map out the trajectory of the meteorite thanks to the mapping of the fragments and videos taken by the locals.
 
- NASA physicist, Peter Brown, had calculated the meteorite to be:
 +17.0 meters wide
 +Weighed 10,000 metric tons
 +Came at the Earth in a velocity of 64,373.8 km/h (40,000 mph)
 +Broke apart 19.3 to 24.1 km (12 to 15 miles) from the Earth
 +The energy of the explosion was 470 kilotons of TNT
 
- The largest piece discovered weighed at 9.8 kgs (22lbs).
 
This is the biggest recorded meteorite since the 1908 Tunguska Event.
