Hi-Jack Time
Speaking of Russia, have any of you been watching the 80's Cold War spy show "The Americans" on FX?
It's been pretty good so far IMHO.

Nonsense.

In Addition...
Let us not forget that asteroid DA14 passed within 17,000 miles of Earth today, which is a closer pass than some satellites. Our glorious Space Emperor is obviously getting ready for September a bit early this year.

What are the odds?
On a day when a potentially earth-changing asteroid narrowly (by space perspective, anyway) misses the planet, another smaller one, that is supposedly completely unrelated and with a totally different trajectory path, comes screaming into Russia. The Mayans man. Mayans.
What are the odds of a meteor...
...that size hitting the Earth? Hitting Columbus?
And furthermore
What are the odds that on that day, there were only heartless Ohio fans, Terelle pryor, Jim Tressell, Thad Motta, and anyother Ohioan sack of junk occupying the City of Columbus at that given time...?

Why is there
No closer up footage of when the meteorite actually struck the ground? Or am i missing something? I can find a ton of footage of it in the air from afar but no closer up videos of when it actually exploded or any of it making actually falling to the ground? Can anyone help me
Well...
For one, it broke into a billion pieces when it got close to the surface, so there probably wasn't a dramatic impact anywhere. And, this thing was moving at 18 miles per second. There wasn't a whole hell of a lot of time to get cameras out. I imagine that a lot of the videos out there happened to be rolling by happenstance.... i.e. security cameras, police cruiser cameras, etc. Also, this is in freaking Russia.
Thanks
I didn't realize that it had broken into a million peices. Obviously i am uneducated in this sort of thing, hence why i kindly asked for help. I didn't need the sarcasm from the ass hole above your post.also, yes i realize that most of these videos were by luck and chance or security footages, but that would mean there would be other security cameras closer to where the thing exploded in mid-air that would have been recovered. Just a simple answer from some ody who admittedly knows hardly anything about the subject...
Although the meteorite did
Although the meteorite did fragment, a small chunk did impact a zinc factory. Good thing it wasn't a Mg factory.
Yea. Agreed!

Excuse while I go back to my room in my parents basement.
I am going out on a limb...
...but I assume that since the meteor hit the ground with the force of an atomic bomb...the guy at ground zero with the handheld didn't make it...or he dropped his video camera because he thought...holy crap there is a giant meteor coming right at me.
Here is the closest you might
Here is the closest you might see to impact. I am sure more will come out. They might have to look at some more of the thousands of cameras. http://www.break.com/index/the-russian-meteorite-from-101-angles-2416059
DUCK!
DUCK! HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!!!
footage
Most places wouldn't even produce as much footage as we've seen. It happened pretty fast, as meteor do and all.
Driving in Russia is something of an experience. I used to sky dive and jump off of mountains for fun. I've driven a car at speeds greater than 150 mph. Yet all of my near death experiences happened on Russian roads. Because the craziest things happen on Russian roads (including insurance scams, fights, corrupt traffic police, etc.), most Russians run a dash cam to collect evidence in case of what would be a rare eventuality for you but an everyday occurance for Russians.
In my gypsy cabbing adventures i experienced road rage leading to off course chases so that my driver could scream and spit on the windshield of another car. I've been in cars that swerved at pedestrians (this was a Chechan screaming "Russian swine" and missing pedestrian babushkas by inches). I've driven on sidewalks at speed, played chicken with trams, and driving in oncoming traffic just stopped seeming like a very big deal.
To be fair, some of this was my fault. I reached a point where at times i'd offer a fair fare for the destination and then structure monetary rewards for quicker times to the destination.

Think about it. They defeated the greatest power in the world in a couple days. Walked right over us. And these were only the first. They'll keep coming. This is not a war any more than there's a war between men and maggots... This is an extermination.
