Meteorite Injures Over 1,000 People In Russia

While the world was bracing for a giant asteroid, with the boring name of 2012 DA14 to buzz by our planet, a meteorite caused havoc in the Russian Urals region. The meteorite has been estimated to weigh around 10 tons and cut through the earth's atmosphere going 33,000 mph where it split into pieces anywhere between 18-32 miles above the Earth's surface.

Scientists are reporting that the meteorite which caused damage to 3,000 plus buildings in the city to be unrelated to Asteroid 2012 DA14, which I am going to call Bruce Willis, and was only 17,150 miles from our planet at one point. I find that a little too coincidental, but what do I know, I'm not a scientist. Check out some videos below.
