Where's the meteorite? [/quote] The meteorite is the exploding ball of fire!! You can't see a meteor as it burns up in the atmosphere. I've not heard of it being a missile? [/quote] Exploding in the air? I understand it burning up in our atmosphere, but it wouldn't explode! ...It would burn up. An explosion is different than burning a rock. [/quote] As it raced through the sky, the 50-foot wide chunk of space rock compressed the air ahead of it, creating the enormous temperatures that meant[b] it exploded in a fireball somewhere between 18 and 32 miles above the ground [/b]at around 9.20am local time on Friday. Although some debris fell to earth, ‘whipping up a pillar of ice, water and steam’ and creating a 20-foot-wide crater, [b]the damage in nearby towns was actually caused by shockwaves created by the meteor breaking the sound barrier and then exploding.[/b] Workers in the city remained busy replacing acres of windows shattered by a powerful shockwave caused by the meteor's strike, which NASA said [b]released 500 kilotons of energy, the power equivalent to more than 30 Hiroshima bombs.[/b] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2280920/Meteor-crashed-Russia-largest-space-rock-hit-earth-century-claim-scientists.html [/quote]
