Okay, if this is true then the Russians saved us all. SAVED US ALL
Not believable considering the impact. Wouldn't there be no impact if that was the case?
The smaller explosions might be debris that were coming apart from it, hitting the ground.
edit: Russians always first at everything thing space related, even blowing up a meteorite
Wasn't the "impact" a sonic boom?

What, did they use a nuke to blow it up? Come on. Very unlikely.

A sonic boom doesn't mean what you think it means.
Also, here's a plea from me: Guys please don't shit this thread up with a dickwaving contest about what you think the russian army can do or whatever, just for one time it would be really nice to just be able to read about the topic.

Probably a little of both. The object, or parts of it, causing a sonic boom, or the thing exploding in the atmosphere. Meteorites coming into the atmosphere are going so insanely fast, that when they hit the "pretty thick" atmosphere (compared to the density of space) they just explode. They're going about, like, what, 28,000 mph when they hit the atmosphere. So they get into the upper layer, start to burn, then hit the lower layer about 80,000 feet up and go KA fucking BLOOOEY. I don't think it would be possible to shoot it down. Maybe that was a joke, or...?
har har.
I assume the sound was from the meteor braking the sound barrier within our atmosphere.
Dang
Huh? The meteor made a sonic boom because it was going super-sonic, not because it exploded.

I thought he was saying the sonic boom was from blowing it up.

Thank god Russia is the country of dash-cams. Anything happens there we'll have video, no matter where it is.
I wonder if it is related to that giant Asteroid that is supposed to pass by earth tomorrow? I think it's supposed to be at 2:25 PM est.

LOL, that's like straight out of Deep Impact or something.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I think it has to be it'd just be too much of a coincidence otherwise. That's just my plebeian knowledge of these things speaking, though. If I wake up tomorrow morning and there's additional meteorite strikes that have been reported, I might be concerned.
Do they do that to be able to sue or to avoid liability? In america we have dash cams, but only the cops and the hoons bother using them.

I just saw the video. OMG those thick plumes look so sick, and by sick, I don't mean cool, I mean...wrong, gross. Like all kinds of uneasy.

I would think these are sound barrier explosion sounds as it enters the atmosphere, at some point. Sonic booms.

Because this is the bullshit they reported
"Meteorite crash in Russia: UFO fears spark panic in the Urals"
Also can someone explain to me why every single car, person and toilet has a camera in Russia? Is there some law that one must have a camera on person at all time to record crimes or some shit?
I mean it seems overkill even by modern everyone has a cellphone standards, not that I'm complaining 'cause this is amazing

The best/most terrifying part are the videos with an angle where you really get a feeling for how fast it's going. The perspective difference is crazy.
It's like "Wow that's so far and going pretty fast" to "HOLY CHRIST IT'S GOING SO FAST AND I'M ALMOST DEAD."

Why the long case?
They were talking about the wrong Chloe.
You've seen how they drive, right?

I think it's an accident insurance thing iirc
Do you know what a sonic boom is?
*picks up jaw off floor*
It's to protect against insurance fraud, which is apparently rife in Russia.
i heard it was because of the high amount of insurance fraud in russia.

because of all the fraud. People claiming you hit them or their car. Plus vodka

0:15 was where my life started flashing infront of my eyes. WELP. GAME OVER MAN.
According to Wikipedia, we get hit by a meteor of about 4 meters in diameter roughly once a year, and 7 meters in diameter every five years. While not terribly common, this isn't necessarily related to the other.
That quality is pretty crazy. Can actually see the shockwave there.
~20 seconds in.

On the geological timescale, it is very frequent. Tunguska was just over one hundred years ago. I think it is more common than our lifetimes give it credit. edit

Probably mach 20+ or something ridiculous like that.

The road rules may be more loose than here, but don't be like all of YouTube and assume just because people are recording more accidents there, that they actually happen more. Its a corruption problem with police and the courts and insurance companies having none of that bullshit by requiring video proof to get paid or settlements.
