Holy dumb fuck. You know if that hit stateside everyone would think it's the end of the world.

Why does all the crazy shit happen in Russia?

No, I believe the large "explosions" are the meteorites breaking the sound barrier. There might also be a loud noise when it hits land, but I think its more the sound barrier.

Meteorites are believed to travel between 25,000 mph to 160,000 mph

[ButtJuice]

^ yes


Edit: oh.

[IronFreak]

No major fragments actually hit the ground, it was the meteor breaking the sound barrier when entering the atmosphere.
