Intense as fuck! They showed more clips on the news. The explosion was LOUD.

What worries me is that 1. either nobody saw it coming or 2. they knew and chose to not warn people.
Both are pretty scary scenarios, especially with that other huge one passing Earth tonight! :panic:

According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, this meteorite was too small to be detected ahead of time...and if it was big enough to be anticipated, we'd be screwed.

Still pretty damn amazing, this whole thing. Just watching this bright object streak across the sky at that speed...
