My #2 son is living in Moscow. It kinda shook us up until we had the details.

Meteors never impact.
Meteorites do.

Technically, meteoroids impact. While they transit the atmosphere they are meteors. Once they impact they are meteorites.

A meteorite hits Russia . The last such event for this magnitude happened in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the world series. Coincidence?
Perhaps...

Nasa estimate that the energy released by the meteor's impact with the atmosphere was 500 kilotonnes, around 30 times the force of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945
On a side note KIM jon II declared North Korea now possess it own meteorite for defensive purposes only, but will not hesitate to use it against the imperial USA!

Total exaggeration, most injuries were from the windows shattered by the sonic boom. The glass cut spectactors in the face.
The actual impact was rather small, from what I understand.

very true, all the the injury's were from glass busted from the shock wave. but is some areas the shockwave was intense enough to blow out doors and collapse some roofs. Several large pieces were found as well (large by meteorite size) A lot of really cool footage has yet to make it out because of the loss of cell communication. also there is a large amount of car camera footage yet to be show (because of laws in Russia prosecution is difficult in car accidents without video so quite a large number of cars have dashboard cams. )

Now that the dust is settled, I realize that the trajectories supposedly rule out these two asteroids as being related, but the timing and proximity are extra extra rare for them to be unrelated. Not that I distrust the reporting, but it is not unusual for multiple related asteroids to be close in time and proximity. These two asteroids being unrelated goes beyond rare and has the smell of impossible.

Such impossibilities deserve their own conspiracy theory, or a movie. And how long did it take the media to get the memo that this was a major story, 55 ft in diameter is a nice size. What century do we live in?

I can see a leading element of an asteroid swarm entering a partial orbit before disintegrating. I can't think of any other way the two could be part of the same swarm, given the different directions.

Not sure it's the media that was slow to get the story: They all had it in big letters when it happened, but, as i recall, the scientists they were quoting were estimating 10 ton, about the size of an SUV. I think it was the scientists that were "slow" in analyzing the data and determining that it was much bigger than first thought.

For sure the military knew immediately the size of the explosion, but "move along, nothing to see," was the message from the department of truth. Then the asteroid true size was scaled up little by little, long after the story was cold. This is the same MO we've seen time and again used to bury a story, only I am not sure what the reason for burying this was. Usually this "bury the story" approach is used when there is an even bigger issue.

There are other future, larger asteroids, so is this for avoiding future panic? Of what?

There is a conspiracy in this somewhere...Unless someone has some Polywell news.

Just like Haiti's earthquake was a weapons test.

EDIT Now waiting for some sort of religious person to claim it as a warning from god regarding some sort of 'objectionable' legislation or 'questionable morality'

In regards to your sig: under the sink?

So long and thanks for all the fish

100 000 dolphins

The Vogons are coming! The Vogons are coming!!

Those dolphin are planning something, mark my words. Back to the asteroid attack, maybe the aiming technology is not complete. Could be a warm up for an ELE.
