So aside from this giant, Earth killing asteroid that's supposed to brush by us today, a meteor actually hit in Russia this morning. Check out these videos... one is a car's dash-cam of it falling.  Looks like Hollywood!  And then the second video is the crater.  Pretty incredible stuff!!!

Wow we all woke up to this news.. I thought they said it was gonna be close but miss us by 20k miles up.   Wonder if they are more behind this one..If you see a really big one ,  jump on the enfield and get the hell out of there/don't accidentally hit your kill switch with the Adrenalin rush... Could had been real bad, glad it wasn't. 
Oh Magoo you done it again

The asteroid that was supposed to miss us, missed us by 17,000 miles.

This one is an unrelated meteor that didn't. :(

I saw a few videos of the one that did hit that weren't very good.
That view from the car would sure get your attention if you were just cruising along minding your own business and all at once here it comes at over 18000 miles an hour.
