Slate.com's article on the meteor as it broke up over Russia.

Watch your volume in some of these videos. The sonic boom is VERY LOUD.

Apparently its going to cost $33 million to clean up and repair the damage. Considering it exploded with the force of an atomic bomb and killed nobody that's cheap.

Pretty awe inspiring stuff, isn't it? I can totally see why some people there thought the world was coming to an end.

Yes, they got off pretty easy, considering the potential damage.

Something like that, with no warning, would scare the crap out of me!
