“Gnip, Inc. was a social media API aggregation company. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, it provided data from dozens of social media websites via a single API.”

The space rock exploded with 10 times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

EMP or just explosion?
Wouldn’t out INTELSATs have caught it, and news been leaked before now?
Any thoughts?

Odd, isn’t it?
Maybe the Ural Mtns have ‘special properties’, yet Russia is a huge land mass.
Or it’s just a coincidence.
Who knows?

I know you think the odds are comparable to being able to see a needle in a haystack from 10 miles away, it apparently keeps happening anyway. :)

These are just the researched and confirmed impacts... There are a LOT that still have not been fully documented.

Hover over these and it gives the details of each. The U.S. probably shows more frequency because it has been researched a quite a bit more than other locations around the world.

And here is the impact data from South America alone...
