Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia 2013


30 Hiroshimas. Insane to imagine this thing almost impacted the Earth. I think it was 50 miles in the air when it exploded moving at 15 kilometers a SECOND. That's f***ing mind bending.

What saved us? The angle of the meteor was too horizontal or shallow. If it would have been more of a downward angle, we might have been fvcked.

Imagine the implication to the world if this thing would have impacted. This wouldn't have been just territorially, it would have affected the entire planet. The video below shows the force and damaged it cause 50 miles in the sky and this is with no debris to hurl.

IDK if it would have been a world wide event if it impacted the earth, with it "only" being in the 400kt range. Think of all the multiple MT weapons that have had atmospheric testing, granted they weren't in population centers, and fallout aside, haven't been global catastrophes

Yeah not enough power to be world changer but think the implications would have been worldwide. Most people dont know its a heavily populated city. 1.2 million people live there and its a heavy industry driven city for Russia that would cause a ripple effect for Russia and the world. That is a natural catastrophe unlike anything i can remember.

Absolutely. It’s hard to consider all the possible ramifications of something like that happening.
