I blame global warming and assault weapons for that attack from the aliens..
I'm waiting to hear from those assholes in Topeka about how God did this because of some alternate lifestyle others lead!

Exactly, Fish.
I think that Iran is laughing at the thought of shooting down a meteor. |

When reached in his prison cell for comment, Oscar Pistorious said that this story really has legs.

Article on USA Today.com says that Russia Today (ironic) claimed it was intercepted by Russian Air Defense but later the Russian Minister of Defense stated they did not have the capability to shoot down meteors.

Report: Russian meteor blast injures at least 1,000 people
By Phil Black, Boriana Milanova and Laura Smith-Spark, CNN updated 11:00 AM EST, Fri February 15, 2013 A meteor streaks through the sky above Russia's Urals region on Friday, February 15, before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left hundreds of people hurt. HIDE CAPTION Meteor hits Russian region STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Did you see the meteor? Share your images with CNN iReport. Moscow (CNN) -- A meteor streaked through the skies above Russia's Urals region Friday morning, before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 people hurt, state media said. The number of injured has continued to rise through the day as new reports come in from across a swath of central Russia. As of late afternoon local time, the Interior Ministry said about 1,000 people had been hurt, including more than 200 children, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency said. Most of those hurt are in the Chelyabinsk region, the news agency said. The vast majority of injuries are not thought to be serious. Meteor sonic boom shocks Russia Watch meteor streak across sky Meteor explosion caught on video What is a meteor sonic boom? Opinion: Don't count 'doomsday asteroid' out yet About 3,000 buildings have sustained damage -- mostly broken glass -- as a result of the shock waves caused by the blast, the news agency reported. Vladimir Stepanov, of the National Center for Emergency Situations at the Russian Interior Ministry, earlier told state media that hospitals, kindergartens and schools were among those affected. About 20,000 emergency response workers have been mobilized, RIA Novosti reported. Read more: Saving Earth from asteroids Amateur video footage showed a bright white streak moving rapidly across the sky, before exploding with an even brighter flash and a deafening bang. The explosion occurred about 9:20 a.m. local time, as many people were out and about. CNN iReporter and Instagram user Max Chuykov saw the meteor trail from the city of Yekaterinburg. He shared on Instagram that it was "close to the ground." Witness Ekaterina Shlygina posted to CNN iReport andwrote on Instagram: "Upon Chelyabinsk a huge fireball has exploded. It wasn't an aircraft." The national space agency, Roscosmos, said scientists believed one meteoroid had entered the atmosphere, where it burned and disintegrated into fragments, according to RIA Novosti.

One large chunk was discovered in a lake in the Chelyabinsk region, RIA Novosti cited the Chelyabinsk governor as saying. A spokesman for the Emergency Ministry for the Chelyabinsk region told CNN earlier Friday that 524 people there were injured and 34 hospitalized. © NASA estimates 4,700 'potentially hazardous' asteroids For sky watchers, the reports bring to mind the famous Tunguska event of 1908 in remote Siberia, in which an asteroid entered the atmosphere and exploded, leveling trees over an area of 820 square miles -- about two-thirds the size of Rhode Island. About 80 million trees were felled, radiating out from the center of the blast, but no crater was left. Friday's Chelyabinsk meteor comes on the same day that a hefty asteroid is due to charge past Earth at a pretty close range, in space terms. An asteroid is coming. Fear not, scientists say Known as 2012 DA14, the asteroid is thought to be 45 meters long, about half the length of a football field. But scientists say it will come no closer than 17,100 miles from our planet's surface. Photos: All about asteroids Your photos: Orionid meteor shower "No Earth impact is possible," according to Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Those in Eastern Europe, Asia or Australia will get the best telescope-aided view, scientists said. The asteroid won't be visible to the naked eye. NASA spokesman Steve Cole told CNN that scientists had determined that the Russian meteor was on a very different trajectory from the asteroid. "They are completely unrelated objects -- it's a strange coincidence they are happening at the same time," he said. "This kind of object does fall fairly frequently, but when they fall into the ocean or desert, there is no impact on people -- so this one is unusual in the sense that it's come over a populated area." Cole said he wasn't aware if scientists had foreseen the meteor's entry into the atmosphere. Because meteoroids are smaller than asteroids or comets, they are hard to spot and there is often little warning that they are heading toward Earth, he said. Colin Stuart, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory in London, said the asteroid's flyby Friday was a chance for experts to get an unusually close-up look and learn more. "Scientists are going to fire radar beams off of the asteroid, trying to get an idea what it's made of and the how it's moving, so that in the future, if there's something that's a bit more of a threat to us, we have the best knowledge of what we are dealing with," Stuart said. The asteroid, which is not connected to the Russian meteor, is not expected to hit any of the communications satellites it will pass on its trajectory, he said.
