Adios
Some pretty crazy videos of this. These are the two best I've seen so far. I'm sure countless more videos will pop up throughout the morning/day..

That's crazy!! Did they say how big it was?

A couple sources are saying about 10 tons...

Odd thing, when I first saw this on the news this morning (not paying close attention), I was thinking, "Are they sure that was a meteor?" - and this is all kind of second hand info, but, there are in Chelyabinsk, or near there, a lot of very deep Ural mountain lakes, and in these lakes they did a lot of the testing for Soviet submarine missiles, according to a friend of mine, whose father, well, was part of that program, and even into the 90's and 2000's they were still developing those rockets there (and maybe still are, I have no idea) to lauch sattelites as a (potentially) low cost alterntative to land based missile for countries like Brazil, etc. So, my mind went immediately to "whoops!"

This was a disaster of unparalleled proportion.

It's so clearly marked. How was this mistake made?
