Spoiler

A meteorite today hit the russian city Chelyabinsk, people were hurt due to the shockwave of the impact, but apparently there were no fatalities.

Daring PR-Stunt. Well played, CDPR, well played.

By the way, any other country's media quite hysterical about protection from meteorites now? I'm mildly annoyed by it. If I was even afraid of the off-chance of a metorite hitting me, I'd better not participate in traffic or use my kitchen.

 

[M4xw0lf.978]

Hysterical?! We all need to move under ground immediately!! I need at least 500 meters of solid rock above my head until I can breathe easy

 

[ViZ7]

Aha the title alone made me laugh

Somehow I'm not surprised by that suggestion coming from YOU, Vault Boy!

 

[M4xw0lf.978]

Oh right, I didn't even think of that
I think I'll found Vault-Tec... there's got to be a market for that now ^^

Suddenly I no longer feel safe on this little blue rock, hurtling through space. Jesus christ.

Stay out of the kitchen - you may get infected by horsemeat!

Good thread title, by the way. I wandered in to see if this needed to be moved over to the main discussion forum />
But some of the videos have been amazing. The thing that has amazed me most though is that so many of the drivers DIDN'T lose control when this appeared in the sky in front of them.

The best thing is that when I was checking this morning Google News, I see news:
"NASA: There is no chance that meteorite will hit the earth"
and news below:
"Meteorite hit in the Russia"

Screw you NASA. I won't trust you ever again.

I plead guilty as charged

 

[Sirnaq]

Eh you know that over 500 people were injured? Im not sure if it's laughing matter.

 

[Blothulfur]

First Tonguska now this, I think someone up there's got a beef with the mighty sons of Rus.

 

[Pangaea666]

Wow, that's awesome. One hell of an impact too. Would love to see something like that.

Loved how the guys in the background was laughing and cheering too. That's the reaction you want

Nothing serious tho. Only scratches and cuts from broken glass etc.

I heard reports that some childeren lost eyes with this broken glass. 5 people has critical injuries. Not to mention there is -18 celcius in Chelyabinsk. Imagine sleeping in that temperature with broken glass.

 

[braveheart111]

Just ask the Dinosaurs if there is a problem with meteorites!!

 

[Pangaea666]

Meteorites? Can we forge a sword with it?

I noted the serious background in the Spoiler, this thread was of course not intended to make fun of the victims' situation.

The flyby asteroid we knew about has nothing to do with this meteorite. They were headed in completely different directions and were completely unrelated. It was just a coincidence.

 

[FoggyFishburne]

The title is absolutely amazing.

However, the video was pretty intimidating. Incredible how easy it is for nature to completely wipe us out. I doubt that any trace of us would even be left if a big ass comet hit. Insane. Glad it didn't hit in the centre of, say, Paris :|
