The meteorite was captured on car dashboard, cameras and phones. A blinding flash of light streaking across the sky, and then %^&%*%. On the ground, chaos followed as fragments slammed into the ground. Witnesses say they thought a war had broken out. The blast shattered windows and knocked down the wall of this zinc factory. Officials say over 250 people were injured mostly from broken glass. It's extremely cold in this part of Russia, below zero today and schools closed after windows were blown out. About 20,000 troops have been sent to the scene as well as 3 aircrafts which are surveying the damage from  the sky. Scientists say the meteor shower was not related to an asteroid that will fly dangerously close to earth today. But one estimate suggests this meteor was big, perhaps tens of tons. Current Rania, ABC news, Moscow. 

An unbelievable video there, now let's repeat what Current just said that meteor shower is not believed to be related to that mass of asteroid passing by earth late today. Scientists say it will come within 17000 miles off our planet just around 2:25 PM Eastern time. That is closer than weather and communication satellites. Believe it or not so, some cellphone service could be disrupted temporarily.
