Russian Meteorite

[flojocabron]

Every time I read Russian news, I think to myself "I need a dash cam."

This, anyone have any recommendations?

Enjoy this video while you import a cheap Chinese dash cam

Didn't see this topic til now, I already posted in the comic book thread about how this makes me wish we had real life super heroes. A Justice League Watchtower would have seen this coming a mile away.

...which - since the meteor was moving at approximately 33,000 MPH - would have given them a little over 1/10 of a second to react to it.

Superman can move that fast

Plenty of time to put on sunglasses.

Reminds me of this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
Although the meteoroid or comet appears to have burst in the air rather than hitting the surface, this event still is referred to as an impact. Estimates of the energy of the blast range from 5 to as high as 30 megatons of TNT (21–130 PJ),[7][8] with 10–15 megatons of TNT (42–63 PJ) the most likely[8]—roughly equal to the United States' Castle Bravo thermonuclear bomb tested on March 1, 1954; about 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan; and about two-fifths the power of the later Soviet Union's own Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated

Effects Flattening 2,000 km2 (770 sq mi) of forest; seen by glowing sunsets globally

Looks like something out of Fallout

There are some fun theories surrounding that event



Real life Fringe event?

There was this event in the 40's too.

Russians don't give a f**k And if it's true that no debris has been recovered why is it asserted it's a meteorite? Where's the bloody evidence? Experts can talk out of their arses all the time. (still, it is 99.999% most likely a meteorite)

[BoringSupreez]

I read debris had been found, the usual shiny black stuff.

Holy crap, you made me look for Russian videos and my god, they make it look like Russia is a country of crazy people and fools! I mean, seriously look at this shit:



Funniest video I've seen lately

I knew when I saw that riding lawnmower I wasn't going to be disappointed. Great video, General Norris.
