Meteor fireball explodes over Russia!

English: A fireball Geminids falling earthwards. The Draconid meteor shower is expected on October 8, 2011, and may feature up to 1000 meteors falling her hour, according to some astronomers. Almost all meteors burn up and disintegrate long before reaching the surface of the Earth. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Did you see the footage on the news of the media that landed in Russia? It injured some 400 people, and sent them to the hospital. It also destroy many buildings, and shattered windows, frightening many people. Can you believe this. It would seem that all those movies that came out a few years ago about our earth ending, with meteors striking the earth, proved that this was not just some Hollywood fiction. This can and did actually happen. So are we safe? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how scientist can detect these fireballs well before they strike the earth. While scientist have been following the other asteroid that is passing the earth, but will miss us, apparently the one in Russia came in under their radar, and caught many people off guard. So be careful folks, because when you least expect it, day or night, it will probably happen again. We can only hope that it doesn’t hit any building or kill anyone. Living in California all my life, this is similar to earthquakes out here. We get all excited when a big one hits, and it startles you, but then you make sure everyone is okay, and go about your business as usual. So look up to the skies, and watch out for things falling from the sky that may hurt you!
