    Watch Fox go into it's usual scare tactic mode and go "We were right, it's going to hit us afterall! We're all going to die!"

    Edit: Apparently it went unnoticed because it came from the direction of the sun and not the asteroid that's supposed to come close to us.

    The number of injured varies according to which site you go to. Reuters says only 150 were injured while HuffPo has it as high as 400.

    That's a complete mischaracterization of Fox News' journalistic integrity!












    They'd also blame the meteor on Obama.

    I have a feeling if anybody had any plans on getting gas or geoceries today, now might be a good time to do it, before this news really gets out there and media outlets create a panic over it.

    WOW!

    This would be so cool if it weren't for all those people getting hurt. How dare they ruin our fun!

    The vids don't bother me, it's the fact that this is coming on a day when we're going to have a very very close call with an astroid that's freaking me out.

    It's the low resolution and the lame frame rate that scares me.



    Of course it's the possibility of a meteor impact, dummy.

    When I clicked on the thread I was thinking it was a bunch of small ones and people were pelted by pebbles. The one that is passing by at about 17,000 miles is about big enough to make a crater like the one in Arizona.

    [​IMG]

    Just shy of a mile across. It would be like an atomic bomb without the fallout.

    Actually reading this thread is the first time I've associated you with asteroids.

    I know I would pay a lot of money for a chunk of metal from space.

    Seriously, though, meteorites are so cool. In 1947 there was a similar event in Siberia, the material recovered equaled 70 tons, and it made impact craters 26 m across. That's wild!I can't wait till they find the debris from this one.
