meteor in Russia I just heard on the radio about the meteor that fell in Russia, so search it. Here is a link. http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-100-injured-by-meteorite-in-russia-20130214,0,7920529.story 100 people were injured from breaking glass from windows that were shattered. No deaths. This is interesting to me because last night I read on BBC that a meteor would come near earth, but not hit it. I wonder if this meteor in Russian was related to that other meteor that would not hit earth.

This is a good subject. Later I might say something else.

That is also very interesting because we can feel that there is no protection against those meteors. If I'm not mistaken, Russian anti-missile system could not alert in this case.

I only regret now I haven't taken a picture of that smoke trail at least but it was so unexpected and so bewitching at the same time.

Very interesting. You're the first person I've talked to (this italki message) that saw it in real life. Thanks for saying this.

And I saw it yesterday but I thought it was a burning plane firstly. There was no sound at all and a big smoke trail. Later I understood from the news what I had seen.
