Revelation 8:8
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
Some fragments may have hit a lake near Chelyabinsk.
a tennis ball sized piece could have mad that hole.
The WAVE from the impact would chew up a LOT more ice and fling it outward, than the actual size of the fragment.

...Czech astronomers they interviewed basically asserted that Chelyabinsk dodged a bullet and that it could have been infinitely worse.Then just WHERE did the 'bullet' land?
Or did it just make a glancing blow thru the lower atmosphere and head on into space?
It just VANISHED in all the videos I've seen!

I can't bear watching the 30 year old CNN/FOX fashion models talking to the audience like they're all 7 year olds. AMEN!
Where DO they find these twits?

I worked in a Naval plant that repaired and aligned the guidence systems for ICBMs on our subs.
It was a given that we’d see no flash, as our nervous system doesn’t work that fast.

Our only defense against them at present are the worlds nuclear ICBM arsenals ...
NOTHING!
Would you rather be hit with a deer slug or a shotgun; as all a bomb would do to a 10 ton solid rock is to turn it into 10 tons of flying gravel!

——Or did it just make a glancing blow thru the lower atmosphere——
The video seems to point to that conclusion.

The article that I read on Drudge, this morning, said that the Russians had used a missile on the meteor, is that not correct? I highly doubt that the Russians used ANYTHING!
Did you SEE any contrails that intersected the thing as it came in?

I notice that they instinctively went to duck and cover, it seems that the majority of injuries were the type that would have been avoided, by D&C.Oh NO!
You've typed D&C and I have a reflex respose that REQUIRES me to post something relevant!
I must resist...

I posted this on another thread to another poster claiming a missile could on have hit the meteorite. Hope you enjoy it.
An ICBM travels pretty fast too, the idea is to intercept it not catch up with it. That said there is no anti missile system capable of intercepting a meteorite on short notice. By short notice I mean Holly s**t what that in the sky? lol, but just for grins a 20 lbs anything inpacking a meteor traveling at 60,000 mph would result in a very very big band as e=mv2 and 60k mph squared is a very big number. Lets do the math! Mass is about 9kg, velocity is about 30,000m per second so the energy is about 8.1 billion joules. That is enough energy to light up 81 million 100 watt light bulbs for 1 second. Or about 2.1 kilotons of TNT, a small nuke, Not bad for a 20lbs payload.

The two big immediate threats from a nuke are 1) the heat wave (flash) 2) the blast wave. Just getting in a shadow will protect you from the heat wave, so by all means do not turn into the light. If you do you will probably go blind. Once the flash has ended get away from glass windows as fast as you can. Flying glass is a big killer. It is possible to survive a nuke if you are far enough away that the over pressure will not collapse the structure you are in. So yes duck and cover can work. If you are alive after the blast move upwind to avoid the fallout.

That’s an amazing picture. The smoke was an interesting color. I wonder what the meteor was made of.

Telling them not to look at the flash was not sillier than telling them to get under their desks! But apparently they had drills; just like today students have fire drills and tornado drills, they had nuclear bomb drills. LOL He confesses he was terrified at the idea of strangers coming and taking the teacher away. Would his mom still be allowed to pick him up? It makes me wonder what the purpose of that was... maybe trying to bring up a generation scared of the Soviets?
