I just watched it on my local news. It looked like a huge trailing ball of fire and sounded like a bomb upon impact! Never in my life I thought I would write about this.

The sound in this video is frightening.

Sorry guys, false alarm. That was just me testing my homemade iron-man suit. (I live in Finland so, it's just a short flight over to Russia).
LOL Keen!
Seriously though, not all of that noise may have been from the meteor. They did fire and reportedly hit it with multiple ABM interceptors.
Now... I don't see any secondary smoke trails from rockets, so that may have been the propoganda machine, but witnesses reported burning object falling straight down.

I know it is a very large place, but Russia (or at least the old Soviet Union) gets more than it's fair share of witnessed large meteorite falls. There was the Tungusta event in 1908, and the Sikote-Alin meteorite in 1947. I have several examples from the later fall in my collection. I would have loved to witness this one for myself, and then run around tampering with the scientific data by collecting as many fragments as I could get my hands on.
The meteorite exploded about 10000 feet up. The falling stuff might have been material coming off the explosion. Usually the landed pattern of meteorites from a fall like this looks like a big ellipsis.
I think there might be some good Mnats in the debris.
hope no one was injured. that was fascinating.
Amazing video. There are reports of indirect injuries from damage caused by the meteorite. Can't wait to see video of the crater.
I used some Sikote-Alin samples to create some iron based photographs.
Sadly, quite a large number were injured by glass exploding from the shock wave.

At 2:24PM EST today, asteroid 2012 DA14 will come within 17,200 miles of Earth.

Did anyone else notice that they don't appear to have any lane markers on those roads? The first video sequence is taken from a car on a divided highway, but the second is not and I couldn't see any center line. Is this a population control measure?
This is how the zombie apocalypse starts.
I was once driving through the Mojave Desert east of Yuma, AZ when a meteor appeared about 2-3 miles off to my left and about a half a mile up. It was very bright and was traveling horizontally to the ground before it exploded.
From MacLeans magazine, there is an article entitled "Why are there so many dashboard camera videos of the Russian meteor?". Here's the link:.http://www2.macleans.ca/2013/02/15/...ashboard-camera-videos-of-the-russian-meteor/
Be sure to check out the link towards the end of the article, "craziest Russian dash-cam videos of 2012", although it's hard to top a meteor impact.

About a thousand people were injured by that explosion, but no one killed. One Russian official says that it was an American weapons test. Both Russia and the U.S. do not have the capability to deter such events.
Maybe this is why it is snowing outside right now. It wasn't supposed to start until after dark.
