A meteorite causes injuries, cool video clips, in Russia

First off, we’re assured this impact/explosion has nothing to do with the asteroid that’s passing close to Earth today. Anyway, Russia played host to a rather unsettling guest from space:
This might revive calls to launch Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck into space, though this time it’d be unrelated to anger over Daredevil and the more recent Die Hard sequels. I’m also thinking we might want to look into large, meteor-repelling trampolines, which would also make for a fun tourist attraction when they’re not bouncing rocks back into the solar system.
Wow! Those folks really had a ‘Holy S%!&’ moment.
Look for this to be used aa a training film for future CGI FX classes.
It’s kind of funny, actually. Yesterday, the media was full of talk about how a big asteroid was making a very close pass by the earth – and yet that one is now completely forgotten thanks to a much smaller chunk of rock passing just that little bit closer without anyone seeing it coming.
