Lots of injuries from flying glass, the videos looked like they were out of a sci-fi movie

Seems a lot of injuries from flying glass and such but no deaths, thankfully.

What a horror show.

Good Link! Man that would be insane to experience! Glad it didn't hit a city!

I never thought about the shock wave from one of those things but it would make sense considering it was going Mach 78 when it hit the atmosphere!

When I was stationed in Oklahoma I'd stay up all night looking for tornadoes ---Nothin

When I was in California I'd stay up waiting for an earthquake ---nothin

Now I won't sleep because I'll be lookin for meteors ,hope I won't be disappointed

well we did dodge that asteroid. at 27000 km it was quite close. closer than some of the weather satellites.

I love listening to the media hype : NBC news commentator said it struck with the force of an atomic bomb -----------breaking near by windows .

Global News had an on-screen graphic indicating that a direct hit of one that size (rather than glancing blow), with the CN Tower as ground zero, would level every building from Mississauga in the west to Pickering in the east and Markham to the north.

Apparently the glass breaking was a result of shattering the sound barrier HUNDREDS of times over.
