Apparently, an 11 ton meteorite has hit in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Some 500 people reported for medical treatment (30 some were hospitalized), and a zinc factory collapsed, either as the result of a direct hit, or a resulting shock wave.

Amazing. I suppose we're always in some infinitesimal risk of something like this happening. I've never heard of it happening in my lifetime (maybe it has?).

 

In any case, I hope I don't look out my windshield this morning on the way to work and see something like this.
