Russian Meteor Explosion
This particularly dramatic angle of the explosion over a highway shows a bright flash in the sky, as the 10-ton meteor releases several kilotons of energy. The meteor explosion reportedly injured hundreds, mainly due to flying shards of glass.
SCROLL FOR MORE VIDEOS OF THE METEOR EXPLOSION
The dashcam video was posted to a Reddit forum early on Feb. 15 where it quickly garnered more than 18,000 upvotes and rose to the social news site's front page.
Other footage of the meteor explosion captured the sound of what is possibly the sonic boom emitted by the meteor as it broke up in the atmosphere.
According to NASA, it is estimated that anywhere from 1,000 tons to more than 10,000 tons of meteoritic material falls to earth each day. - source: HuffPost
