    Holy crap that's quite a firework display. I wonder how many traffic accidents it caused. I would hate to be on something like the D.C. beltway with an event like this. Where was Bruce Willis?

    Nope - it was coming from the wrong direction. The planet is getting double-teamed today.

    From the impact, it caused a shockwave that shattered windows and caused roofs to cave in.

    Did it actually impact? I thought that sky news thing said the injuries were caused from the pressure wave from it passing overhead.

    The debris impacted, it exploded breaking into our atmosphere, that's what the giant glow was from. But the debris still impacted and you can hear/see the impact from various footage.

    Yeah but what it was made of weighed several ton.

    I'm sorry for the people who got hurt, luckily most injuries were minor from what I heard. But this is really cool, one of those once in a lifetime things to see.
