MOSCOW -- The Russian Academy of Sciences is estimating the meteor that streaked into the skies over the Ural Mountains and caused shock waves that injured more than 400 people weighed about 10 tons (11 tons avoirdupois).
The academy said in a statement hours after the Friday morning fall that the meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere at a speed of at least 54,000 kph (33,000 mph) and shattered about 30-50 kilometers (18-32 miles) above ground.
The fall caused explosions that broke glass over a wide area. The Emergency Ministry says more than 500 people sought treatment after the blasts and that 34 of them were hospitalized.

Good grief....CNN now interviewing a dem congressman who s a rocket scientist. They finally found a way to tie this to prog politics. We must disarm seems to be the coming meme.
Evil!!
Perhaps you just have a very bad sense of humor. Considering the “anti-scientific/the government is always wrong” tenor on this site at times...it is very difficult to tell the difference between those who get it...and those who don’t.

Project NEOShield : Savior of Planet Earth
The project NEOShield focuses on three methods of averting Armegeddon disaster: the Hollywoodesque solution of sending up a team of deep drillers with a powerful nuclear bomb to explode it, or frantically hurling all of our nuke arsenal at it; dragging it to safety with a Star Trek-inspired tractor beam; or hitting it with something we have more control over, like a big spaceship.
The project will explore the possibilities for kinetic impactors, gravity tractors and blast deflection as ways to save our planet from oblivion.
“2012 DA14 is coming from the south. “
it’s coming out of Coma Bernices and Ursa M, which are north.

So says Saint Hildegard....Hhmmm, yes, interesting. Up until a few days ago, I knew nothing of St. Hildegard. Now that I've read BXVI named her a Doctor of the Church on Oct. 7, 2012, I'm going to read more about her (and her visions).
interesting turn of phrase....The Comet by its tremendous pressure...she doesn’t say “force or impact.”
Thank goodness we have you to point that out to those of us who may not get it. /SARC
Did you catch the tag this time? No need to respond.

Minorities, women, undocumented immigrants and children hit hardest and will suffer more from meteor strikes.
Why? Because stingy Republicans won’t spend the money for meteor free zones and are standing in the way of Obama’s meteor security plan.
I’ve read a little about ST. Hildegard in the year or two. I’ve wondered about this particular prophecy. It’s obvious to me that the great nation in the ocean would probably refer to the USA. I wonder who the eastern colonies are? The original 13 colonies? US Territories like Puerto Rico and the VI? Maybe close allies like our European Nato allies? And who are the Tiger and the Lion?
LOL Bet a number of Russians "spilled" other things this morning when that sonic boom let loose. Who could blame them? That had to have been quite the show.
Ain’t nobody ever got the ‘Go-Code’ yit.
” it’s completely unrelated in an utterly different orbit.”
Someone did an orbital analysis? That would be interesting, got links?
Obviously we control the asteroid passing by today, but the meteor must’ve been a North Korean attempt to steal the show. Signs point to an inevitable Meteor Gap!
They would have had to have already been in the air. Even then, it would be kind of like the bug that intercepts your car windshield when you're driving down the freeway.

LOL!!
Obama has his big push coming on nuclear disarmament and this will be used to push that agenda. The meme will be that we must disarm, because with meteors falling from the sky, an accidental nuclear exchange could happen. Watch for it...you heard it here first...lol. I am not joking. Like Limbaugh, I know these people like the back of my hand...lol.
Just speculating but it might be possible it was or has been breaking up and or was possibly impacted by another object or debris as it proceeded thought the solar system or on it's approach to earth orbit and these pieces went undetected.
If this were the case, the change in trajectory for some on the pieces or debris field would be dramatically different or altered.
How the USGS recorded the meteorite...
