Those vids are incredible. the one where you see the cloud then the windows blow out…. what a shockwave that think made!
Another two pictures of damage.
Sorry for another post, but some video of around that factory.
Quote from Russia Today.
According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo reportedly blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers.
I'm still doubtful that happened but it is possible-ish. Here yet another picture of the factory is.
Bent window frames here.

That is bullshit!
Nope, it was intercepted by
Yeah by Bruce and Steve Buscemi (love this guy, he can easily play crazy roles).
Thank you Scaru for the heads up, I’ll check the news.
DA14 has just been announced here. Apparently no relation.
These are new good:
Wow! It looked quite real esp with all those videos and that flattened factory. Hope nobody was hurt. Could also have been space junk with all those old satellites in orbit up there! Wonder if there’s any fragments left to prove the actual thing that landed?
Did it actually ever hit the ground?
And who drives around with a video recorder going at all times in their car? Anyone here?
Space junk doesn’t fly that fast to cause this.
Believe that local Russians are already collecting fragments, will be very easy on the snow for the first few hours.
Judging from the pictures of the destroyed factory and from the news reporting several hundred injured people.. yes.
Dash cams are pretty much mandatory in Russia because of insurance fraud. There are lot of videos on youtube where people jump in front of a car to get some money.. or crash into each other and blame the other.. beat each other up in the middle of the street because of a crash.. and so on.
as i was reading, it made a 6m crater in the ground 
some local Russians already sell fragments for about $17.
The injuries/damage is caused by broken glass/shock wave.
Pretty much everyone driving in russia, assuming they have an insurance.
Many companies expect video footage in suspicious cases.
Probably one of the best places to get such a good video coverage of this kind of event!
Just because of those dash cams.
@ NightCrawl & CheapThrills: I did not know that! Thanks for the info.
You’re right, another good place could be London because of all the cameras in public space.
Search for ‘driving in russia’ on youtube, these videos are sick and almost unbelievable stuff happen on the streets of russia.
I saw the video of the “bright light” in the sky and had to think for a moment…… “is that one of our BLF members playing w/ his new 9X XML-U3? It’s hard not to be certain. The factory certainly looks like ”photon cannon” damage, notice the clean round opening in the wall. Only a tightly focused light beam will produce that, metorite strikes are ragged w/ scattered debris. I will now remove my tongue from my cheek…….
